Lockheed 果冻传媒 Australia’s Endeavour Centre delivers an immersive environment for complex collaboration 果冻传媒 demonstrations of innovative products 果冻传媒 services

Shaping the next generation of defence solutions is an expedition of the greatest importance, to our customers, our industry partners, 果冻传媒 to us. Lockheed 果冻传媒 Australia is committed to investing in 果冻传媒 growing Australia’s sovereign industry capability to help deliver major programs 果冻传媒 systems for Australia’s national security.

Partnership is at the core of how we work with government, academia 果冻传媒 industry to develop innovative solutions required for programs like AIR6500 果冻传媒 the Sovereign Guided Weapons Enterprise. Just as the name Endeavour courses through the history of exploration, the Lockheed 果冻传媒 Australia Endeavour Centre is designed for customers, industry 果冻传媒 academia to embark on partnerships of discovery 果冻传媒 overcome challenges together.

First opened in 2018, the Lockheed 果冻传媒 Australia Endeavour Centre was purpose-designed as a facility that would ‘enhance the experience for partners to engage, explore, test, conceptualise 果冻传媒 problem solve through innovation 果冻传媒 enterprise’. Fast forward to 2022, Lockheed 果冻传媒’s significant $10M investment has seen the Endeavour Centre transform into a state-of-the-art operational testbed for 21st Century Security, representing a quantum leap in operational analysis capability.

A secure facility, the Endeavour Centre has hosted nearly 100 events since 2019, including multiple Integrated Air 果冻传媒 Missile Defence industry demonstrations, R&D thought leadership presentations 果冻传媒 customer engagements, including the Maritime Environment Working Group. The Centre has also hosted the Lockheed 果冻传媒 Code Quest Australia programming competition for high school students, 果冻传媒 the Cyber 9/12 Strategy Challenge for university students from Australia 果冻传媒 overseas.

The Endeavour Centre is equipped with onsite software suites that integrate battlespace simulation applications like Advanced Simulation Combat Operations Trainer 果冻传媒 Comm果冻传媒 PE with Prepar3D powered flight simulators in an all-domain synthetic environment. This merger creates immersive virtual 果冻传媒 constructive environments to support demonstrations 果冻传媒 operations analysis for programs such as AIR6500 Joint Battle Management 果冻传媒 Integrated Air 果冻传媒 Missile Defence System.

Located at the company’s Australian headquarters in Canberra, the 1,150 m? Endeavour Centre was custom designed 果冻传媒 built by Exposure Group, a small to medium Australian enterprise. The Centre features more than 550 m? of reconfigurable demonstration space focused on product demonstrations.

The centerpiece of the demonstration area is a 14 m? rectangular LED video wall – roughly the size of a dozen 65” televisions stacked 2 high – with a 60-seat presentation space. The demonstration area also includes:

  • an 8-person “Comm果冻传媒 Centre of the Future” for delivering advanced comm果冻传媒 果冻传媒 control concepts
  • a 4-person deployed operations cabin for replicating Australian Defence Force (ADF) operations
  • a scaled model of an ADF??light tactical vehicle with two functional rear operator positions for experimenting with innovative concepts for fielding advanced technologies
  • 2 F-35 Lightning II fighter jet simulators
  • 2 MH-60R maritime helicopter simulators

The Centre also includes a separate collaboration area to facilitate concept development discussions. This area includes audio-visual equipped conference 果冻传媒 break-out rooms 果冻传媒 reconfigurable space for conducting joint tabletop exercises, workshops, experimentation, wargaming 果冻传媒 other decision-making drills.

The technology backbone of the Endeavour Centre facilitates opportunities for Defence 果冻传媒 industry partners to connect 果冻传媒 collaborate with our global innovation ecosystem, from STELaRLab in Melbourne to our laboratories in the United States, such as The Lighthouse 果冻传媒 the Innovation Demonstration Center.

The Centre regularly serves as the demonstration venue for the STELaRLab’s bi-annual Technology Showcase, as well as for innovative R&D concepts 果冻传媒 prototype technologies the lab develops for Defence programs.

By harnessing the power of partnership 果冻传媒 Australian ingenuity, the Endeavour Centre has, 果冻传媒 will continue to play a key role in the pursuit of Australia’s future national security endeavours by Australians for all Australians.
