  We present the first combined study of the recently discovered source IGR
J16283-4838 with Swift, INTEGRAL, and RXTE. The source, discovered by INTEGRAL
on April 7, 2005, shows a highly absorbed (variable N_H = 0.4 - 1.7 x 1e23
1/cm**2) and flat (photon index = 1) spectrum in the Swift/XRT and RXTE/PCA
data. No optical counterpart is detectable (V > 20 mag), but a possible
infrared counterpart within the Swift/XRT error radius is detected in the 2MASS
and Spitzer/GLIMPSE survey. The observations suggest that IGR J16283-4838 is a
high mass X-ray binary containing a neutron star embedded in Compton thick
material. This makes IGR J16283-4838 a member of the class of highly absorbed
HMXBs, discovered by INTEGRAL.
