The Department of Defence’s LAND 400 project is managing the delivery of the next generation of armoured fighting vehicles for the Australian Army. LAND 400 is the largest acquisition project in the history of the Australian Army.
Phase 2 of the LAND 400 project is for the acquisition of 211 combat reconnaissance vehicles (CRV). The Australian Government announced Rheinmetall Defence Australia as the preferred tenderer on 14 March 2018 with the Boxer CRV.
Rheinmetall Defence Australia (RDA) has established its Australia-New Zealand Headquarters and Military Vehicle Centre of Excellence (MILVEHCOE) in Redbank, Ipswich. The facility is located within the Redbank Motorway Estate, close to supply chain partners and within Southeast Queensland’s established heavy-vehicle precinct.
