JORN program recognised with ISO 55001 certification

BAE Systems Australia’s Jindalee Operational Radar Network (JORN) Program has been formally awarded ISO 55001 Asset Management certification.

The certification, awarded by international certification body TQCSI Yaran, recognises BAE Systems Australia’s advanced capability in asset management, complex systems delivery and data exploitation.

The audit conducted by TQCSI assessed all aspects of the JORN program, including engagement with all remote radar sites, the sounders and transponders maintenance team and the deeper level maintenance site.

This was a significant achievement, covering our JORN sites across five states.   

Andrew Gresham, Managing Director of Defence Delivery at BAE Systems Australia, said:

“The JORN team should be exceptionally proud of their efforts in achieving international recognition. This certification officially acknowledges our commitment to our role as capability steward for the Commonwealth on this vital sovereign security infrastructure.

“Following the ISO 55001 certification in 2020 for the BAE corporate asset management system and application to our Lead-In Fighter (LIF) program, the JORN certification demonstrates that we are developing truly world-class asset management capability to underpin our work sustaining and optimising some of Australia’s most significant sovereign defence assets.”
