The Redback integrates the Redback Turret, which is based on the latest generation of Elbit Systems’ 30mm 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 the completion of negotiations between both parties, and the company expects the contract to be in an amount that is material to the company.
The Redback is a brand-new infantry fighting vehicle (IFV) from South Korea. Hanwha Defense created it. It was specifically designed to satisfy a need of the Australian Army.
The Australian Army decided on the Redback in July. The future contract covers 129 Redbacks from Hanwha Defense. Australia will be the place where these armored vehicles are made.
Up to 450 new IFVs may be needed for Australian requirements. The Australian Army will have a specialized infantry fighting vehicle for the first time.
