Aurizn has delivered a critical secure communications capability for Hanwha Defence Australia (Hanwha) under the Commonwealth’s Land 8116 Phase 1 program for the Huntsman family of vehicles.
“Modern defence capability relies on secure, resilient digital connectivity. This milestone reflects the strength of Australia’s sovereign engineering expertise and the trust placed in local industry to support the Australian Army’s future force," Chief Executive Officer, Aurizn, Rebecca Humble, said.
Aurizn has partnered with Hanwha to design and integrate a secure communications solution that enables sensitive information to move safely between different onboard networks, ensuring operational information can be shared without compromising security.
The capability was developed and rigorously tested at Aurizn’s ITAR-Controlled Systems Integration Laboratory (SIL) in South Australia. Hanwha representatives have participated directly in acceptance testing activities at the facility, validating performance prior to a staged rollout across vehicle platforms.
Aurizn’s contribution drew on its experience in advanced software development, systems engineering and architecture design, end-to-end hardware and software integration and verification in controlled environments, and disciplined program delivery and risk management.
Aurizn will continue to work with Hanwha Defence Australia to support ongoing rollout and sustainment activities.
Land 8116 Phase 1 will deliver the Australian Army’s AS9 Huntsman self-propelled howitzers and AS10 armoured ammunition resupply vehicles.
