Hanwha signs contract for Australian howitzer subsystems

Our Bureau - : Feb 28, 2023 - : 2:48 am

Last December, Hanwha Defense Australia (HDA) signed up German firm AirSense Analytics for the supply of chemical and hazardous substance sensors for the Australian Army’s 30 new AS9 Huntsman 155mm self-propelled howitzers and 15 AS10 armored ammunition resupply vehicles.

The Australian Army is procuring these artillery assets under Project Land 8116. They represent the first ever self-propelled artillery pieces that Australia will have owned.
The contract with AirSense Analytics is worth AUD3.5 million (USD2.44 million). The sensors form an integral part of the vehicles’ chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear threat detection system.

HDA commented that the German company is in conversation with several local Australian companies for the conduct of test and evaluation to support verification and validation activities. Ongoing support of the sensors will take place through an Australian industry partner.

Hanwha Defense Australia noted, ‘This partnership further demonstrates the growing supply chain in Australia and overseas that HDA is building to deliver this game changing capability for the Australian Defence Force and beyond.’
