Script error: No such module "For". Template:Use dmy dates Parakeet is an Australian Army mobile battlefield communication system, developed by AWA Defence Industries.[1] Parakeet utilizes a satellite radio system,[2] which supports remotely deployed units, allowing communication for land forces.
Development
It was first introduced into service in the mid-1990s through project JP65. Parakeet was considered (at the time) advanced military communications. This included secure voice and data trunking services.
Project JP2072 was raised in 2017,[3] to upgrade its sub-systems. As described in the project summary, Parakeet was developed as a Battlespace Communications System Land (BCS-L), aiming to replace older, less effective Battlefield Telecommunications Network (BTN).[4] It was operated by Royal Australian Corps of Signals (RASIGS[5]) personnel.
