Hanwha Defence Australia

Hanwha Defense Australia has signed an approximately $4 billion contract with the Commonwealth for the delivery of 129 #Redback Infantry Fighting Vehicles (IFVs). The program will see all 129 vehicles manufactured in Australia, with vehicle deliveries to begin in 2027 and have the fleet delivered in full by 2028. A series of eight prototype vehicles will also be manufactured in both South Korea and Australia as the program develops. The contract includes the development and delivery of the training system components and support system components through until Final Acceptance in 2029, with an initial support contract in place for the first five years following delivery. “Hanwha Aerospace - Land Systems Business Group is pleased to see the contract for the Redback IFV now in place to deliver this world leading capability,” Mr Jae-il Son, President and CEO of Hanwha Aerospace said. “The order represents a further strengthening of the Hanwha presence in Australia next to the AS9 and AS10 Huntsman vehicles under LAND 8116 for the Australian Defence Force. The ties between Australia and South Korea are growing rapidly and we are excited to be part of that growing relationship.” With a down select of HDA as the preferred partner for the LAND 400 Phase 3 project announced in July 2023, the Commonwealth and HDA have worked together at speed to negotiate Army’s largest acquisition program to date. “Less than 6 months after the preferred partner announcement, HDA and Commonwealth have worked hard to deliver a contract that will see this game changing capability delivered to protect Australian soldier,” Mr Richard Cho, Managing Director of HDA said. “We will be manufacturing all 129 vehicles at the Hanwha Armoured vehicle Centre of Excellence (H-ACE) facility now under construction at Geelong. Bringing back high technology vehicle manufacturing to the region is exciting not just for us but for the potential export base it provides to Australian companies.” #ReadyReliableResponsive #HDAIsHereToStay #Defence Australian Army Defence Australia
