Babcock Australasia (Babcock) has been offered an extended Counter Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear and Explosive (CBRNE) Prime Vendor contract to support the Australian Defence Force (ADF).
The new three-year contract extension is worth approximately $37 million, and supports 132 different types of Counter CBRNE equipment, including explosive ordnance disposal equipment, unmanned ground vehicles and chemical detection systems.
“As a proven and trusted partner to the Commonwealth, Babcock is proud to continue our work in this critical area," said Richard Udall, Babcock Australasia Managing Director Mission & Support Systems.
“National security has never been more important or more complex to deliver. Our service men and women put their lives on the line for our nation – they deserve the very best, cutting-edge technology and equipment to support them to do their job, and Babcock is built for that task.
“We are also proud to support Defence SMEs to deliver this contract, who in turn, support this key capability for the ADF.”
Babcock supports Defence to manage existing, and acquire new Counter CBRNE capability, including equipment acquisitions, maintenance and repairs.
