Plasan to deliver comprehensive survivability package for Australian Redback vehicles

Plasan is responsible for the Redback’s overall survivability and played a significant role in transforming Hanwha’s original K21 design into the Australian Redback. The Redback’s is designed to defeat the highest threats, including mine blasts, kinetic impacts, top attacks, and others.

The protection design of the Redback is the result of collaboration between Plasan and both Hanwha Aerospace, responsible for the hull protection design, and Elbit Systems, responsible for the turret protection design.

“Plasan wishes to congratulate our partners at Hanwha Defense Australia, Hanwha Aerospace, and Elbit Systems Land for being down-selected as the preferred tenderer under the LAND 400 Phase 3, and subject to successful negotiations, looks forward to continue this journey towards the transition of the Redback design into serial production and delivery into the use of the Australian Army,” the company said in a statement.
