Lockheed Martin Australia has appointed Toni-Anne Munn as the Deputy Program Director for JP9102, a military satellite communications project. This appointment is part of the company’s strategy to expand its presence in the region and prepare for the project’s execution phase. Additionally, Lockheed Martin Australia has leased office space in Melbourne’s CBD, establishing Victoria as the engineering and technical hub for JP9102, which is a multi-billion-dollar endeavor.

Toni-Anne Munn brings extensive experience in program management across major defense and telecommunications projects. She will report to JP9102 Program Director Chris Jewell and split her time between Canberra and Melbourne. Munn’s focus will be on enhancing operational efficiency, developing the team’s capabilities, and driving technological innovation.

Lockheed Martin Australia envisions a resilient and self-reliant national space sector, and Munn’s appointment is seen as crucial for the success of JP9102 and the management of the existing communications portfolio. As the preferred bidder, Lockheed Martin Australia has progressed to the next stage of the Defense procurement process, engaging in collaborative tender clarification and improvement activities.

The JP9102 project aims to deliver a sovereign military satellite communications system to the Australian Defense Force (ADF) characterized by its extensibility, agility, and resilience. Lockheed Martin Australia has formed a team consisting of various Australian companies to deliver the ground and control segments of the project. This initiative is expected to create over 200 jobs in Victoria.
