BAE Systems offers the Australian Defence Force (ADF) and security customers total capability in vital areas such as through-life support, security, logistics and systems integration.
Our culture is based upon creating long-term relationships with our customers, our suppliers and our employees. As Australia's most capable defence supplier, our products and services are designed to give the ADF a real advantage by helping frontline personnel to do their jobs quickly, effectively and safely. Supporting the men and women of the ADF is at the heart of everything we do.
For more than half a century, we have been designing, integrating and maintaining systems for the ADF. We work hard to maximise Australian industry involvement in all of our projects and employ more than 6,000 people in urban, regional and remote locations across the country.
Our customers' needs have changed. Defence is striving for enhanced capability at lower cost. Today's operating environment is also more complex and less predictable than ever. The ADF is required to deploy at short notice virtually anywhere in the world, fully equipped and with a strong, sustainable supply chain.
BAE Systems Australia is meeting these challenges. Working closely with the ADF and our other customers, we strive to deliver innovative and cost-effective through-life solutions. We maintain and support capabilities supplied by our company and others, while constantly seeking opportunities to improve our performance, thereby helping our customers to improve theirs.
Our strategic direction can be summarised under four areas - performance, agility, growth and leadership. Allied with, and integral to, our strategy, are our company's values - trusted, innovative and bold. These define the behaviours that we aspire to as employees of BAE Systems. They also confirm to our employees, shareholders and customers that we regard not only what we do as important, but how we do it.
