The Defence Innovation Hub is seeking proposed innovations that will help shape Army’s approach to the challenges of novel weapons and novel effects in a combined arms team in a joint environment.
The Weekly Advertiser reported on August 9 that Ararat’s position as a state and regional manufacturing hot spot will gather momentum if a Victorian bid for a multi billion-dollar military vehicle contract is successful.
Victoria has been selected by BAE Systems Australia as its preferred build location for 225 new Combat Reconnaissance Vehicles, should it win the contract for the LAND 400 Phase 2 project.
The Victorian Government has signed a Heads of Agreement with BAE Systems to build the state-of-the-art vehicles at the former Holden site at Fishermans Bend, should it win the contract for the LAND 400 Phase Two project.
The LAND 400 Phase Two project is worth around $5 billion and would create more than 2,000 manufacturing and supply chain jobs across Victoria.
Victorian defence companies are expected to compete for large shares of the work, with BAE Systems already agreeing to partner with Marand, MOOG Australia, Motec, AME Systems, RUAG Australia, DVR Engineering, and APV to build vehicle components.
The new fleet of vehicles will replace the current Australian Light Armoured Vehicle (ASLAV) fleet.
BAE Systems Australia says it will build a world class defence hub at Fishermans Bend, consolidating the company’s existing Victorian Maritime, Aerospace and Land businesses into a single facility that will foster collaboration and innovation, delivering sustainable jobs over multiple projects for decades to come.
BAE says the defence hub at Fishermans Bend will be the biggest of its type in the nation.
