Elbit Systems announced that its partner in the Australian Land 400 Phase 3 project, Hanwha Defense Australia has been downs selected by the Australian Government, as the preferred tenderer.
However, the final Government approval is still to be sought at the conclusion of contract negotiations.
Noteworthy, Elbit Systems is a key partner to Hanwha to deliver the Redback Infantry Fighting Vehicle (IFV) under the Project.
The Redback integrates the Redback Turret which is based on the latest generation of Elbit Systems’ 30 mm manned turret with the COAPS gunner sight, additional electro-optic systems, Iron Fist active protection system, Elbit Systems’ Iron-Vision advanced situational awareness head mounted display system and Elbit Systems’ ELAWS laser warning system.
The anticipated contract between Hanwha and Elbit Systems is also contingent upon completion of negotiations between both parties and the Company expects the contract to be in an amount that is material to the Company.
