The South Australian Government is committed to supporting local industry to win supply chain work as part of the Australian Army’s LAND 400 Land Combat Vehicle System program.
One of the world’s largest armoured fighting vehicle programs, LAND 400 is designed to deliver the Australian Army’s mounted close combat capability.
Phase 2 of the project is being delivered by Queensland company Rheinmetall Defence Australia, which will involve producing 211 Combat Reconnaissance Vehicles (CRV) worth up to $5 billion in acquisition, plus up to 35 years of sustainment and upgrade work.
South Australian company REDARC Defence & Space was selected as an SME partner to deliver a range of services and products that will contribute into the CRV program.
REDARC will also play a role in Phase 3 of the program, which will result in 129 locally built Hanwha Redback Infantry Fighting Vehicles, manufactured in Victoria, with first deliveries tracking for early 2027.
REDARC will manufacture and supply critical electrical and control system components that underpin the vehicle’s power distribution, communications management and electronic architecture.
Another local company, APC Technology is designing, engineering and manufacturing both the Australian Standard Generic Vehicle Architecture (ASGVA) screens and Large Briefing displays for installation in the Hanwha built Redback Infantry Fighting Vehicles.
Adelaide based systems design company, Shoal Group, provided systems engineering, modelling and analysis expertise during the design and evaluation process with Hanwha, and alongside a collection of other Australian-based companies.
