New Sovereign Technologies to Support Critical Australian Surveillance Capability

BAE Systems Australia congratulates Adelaide-based technology company Cryoclock, the maker of the most precise clock in the world, on completing its move to Lot 14 in Adelaide.

BAE Systems Australia has been working with Cryoclock for 18 months, testing the development of the Sapphire Clock, which will enhance the JORN Phase-6 capability through the integration of the Clock at three JORN radar sites across regional Australia.

The Sapphire Clock uses time to measure distance and is so precise that it gains or loses just one second every 40 million years.
