Last year, the K-9 self-propelled artillery of our military was selected as the preferred equipment for the Australian military’s negotiations, and an export contract was scheduled this year, and domestic armored vehicles are also aiming to advance into Australia.

We will compete one-on-one with German companies for business orders worth up to 20 trillion won. It is noteworthy whether the defense market, which was sluggish last year, will find a way to go in the new year.

A state-of-the-art armored car named’Redback’, named after Australia’s redback tarantula.

It was developed by a domestic company for the future armored vehicle business in Australia, and it has active defense technology that intercepts missiles in advance with the’Asa’ radar used in fighters.

The helmet that allows you to see the situation in all directions inside the vehicle and the anti-tank missile that accurately guides the target by looking at the screen after launch are also strong.

As the prototype of the’Red Bag’ was unveiled in Australia, a confrontation with the German Linx armored car, which was also the final candidate, began to win a business order worth up to 20 trillion won.

The Australian Army plans to conduct a test evaluation starting next month to select a preferred negotiator for the first half of next year.

Other domestic defense companies are also starting to export overseas, such as KAI signed supply contracts with Brazilian, British, and Israeli companies at the end of last year and won orders for aircraft parts worth about KRW 1 trillion.

With Corona 19, last year’s international defense exhibitions were subsequently canceled or postponed, and defense exports, which had been sluggish, are attracting attention to whether they can regain vitality this year.
