Australia is a world leader in the development of High Frequency (HF) radar surveillance systems, such as JORN (Jindalee over-the-horizon radar). However, Australia's ability to support these operations and remain a leader in these fields depends on its capacity to nurture expertise and train new personnel in these areas. The new HF radar system will play a crucial role in this respect, providing (i) high-level training in radar technology and associated science, (ii) a test bed for the development of new instrumental and data analysis techniques, (c) new information on the source of ionospheric perturbations that can affect the performance of JORN, and (d) data important for Australia's space weather prediction community, via IPS (Ionospheric Prediction Service) Radio and Space Services.

澳大利亚在高频雷达监视系统的开发方面处于世界领先地位，例如JORN（Jindalee超视距雷达）。然而，澳大利亚支持这些行动和在这些领域保持领先地位的能力取决于它在这些领域培养专门知识和培训新人员的能力。新的高频雷达系统将在这方面发挥关键作用，提供：雷达技术和相关科学方面的高水平培训，为开发新的仪器和数据分析技术提供试验平台，提供关于可能影响JORN性能的电离层扰动源的新信息，以及提供对澳大利亚空间气象预测界十分重要的数据，IPS（电离层预测服务）无线电和空间服务。
