1st Wave

We were very proud to launch 1st Wave at Land Forces 24 last week in Melbourne. We were overwhelmed by the positive feedback we received for an idea that began as a thought bubble shared between a couple of old friends catching waves in the Indian Ocean just a few months ago. We are excited for the conversations that will follow on our integrated littoral solutions. Thanks to our brilliant partners Beachhead Logistics and Jaia Robotics for your ongoing support. #LandForces24 #InvestmentNSW #DefenceWest

This map of Australia oriented on the Indo-Pacific always catches my eye ⬇️ The Australian Army's Contribution to the National Defence Strategy report featured this map and outlined Army’s adaptation priority: to optimise for littoral manoeuvre with a long-range land and maritime strike capability. This isn't just a Pacific strategy - the Indian Ocean needs to become much clearer in our strategic thinking. https://lnkd.in/g4MTNdch The National Interest has a short read looking at the importance of the Indian Ocean to US strategy and the options to enhance presence and co-operation in the region. Interestingly Australia is largely glossed over. https://lnkd.in/gjHSf7iy By my reckoning Australia has the second longest Indian Ocean coastline behind India itself (geography nerds come at me if it is not!). Fleet Base West, Christmas Island, the Cocos Keeling Islands, North West Australia and Darwin could play an outsized role in strengthening the rules based global order in the Indian Ocean. With the Australian Army refocusing on the littoral environment and fast tracking long range fires, HIMARs capable of firing PrSM increment 2 anti shipping missiles could assist in anti access area denial out to 400 km + from the coast or territories. https://lnkd.in/g5ezbB6H 🖼️@Australian Army

1st Wave is proud to announce it is the Jaia Robotics exclusive representative to the Australian Defence Force. JAIABots are cutting-edge, low-cost, modular, underwater autonomous systems specifically designed to de-risk littoral operations. Come and see 1st Wave at the Investment NSW stand at #LandForces24.

US Marine Corps is providing Australian Army with a great example of how military capability can be augmented with intelligent industry partnerships. Trusting that a similar option is being considered to accelerate the #LittoralManoeuvre capability. Well done Sea Transport 👏 👏 #IndustryPartnership #LittoralOperations #IntegratedOperations

This is an amazing result for an Australian designed SLV SEATRANSPORT PTY LTD. Well done Doctor Stu and the team!!! Time to get a few of these things reinvigorating the coastal trading routes into Northern Australian Ports and acting as a buffer to the ADF amphib fleet, as dormant charters (not STUFT)!!!!

1st Wave is looking forward to hearing more from the Australian Army about the fundamental inputs that underpin the new #LittoralManoeuvre capability in the integrated force. We begin sharing our thinking here. Follow to keep an eye out for more, and we are excited to be able to continue this discussion at #LandForces24. #Littoral #IntegratedOperations Jaia Robotics #L8710 #IndoPacific
