The NextGen DTCS will play a key role in improving the ADF’s digital Joint Fires capability.

The system is designed to provide the capability to quickly determine and destroy threats with precision. It also offers safety, speed and reliability to the user.

The NextGen DTCS features advanced targeting systems, tactical software and a user-friendly interface.

Furthermore, it will support joint allied nation operations due to its interoperability with the next-generation strike platforms of the ADF and coalition partner.

Last year, the company won a contract extension to provide ongoing in-country support for the ADF DTCS.
