Aurizn has successfully delivered a critical secure communications capability for Hanwha Defence Australia under the Commonwealth’s LAND 8116 Phase 1 program for the Huntsman family of vehicles.
Aurizn partnered with Hanwha Defence Australia 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 Defence Australia representatives participated directly in acceptance testing activities at the facility, validating performance prior to a staged rollout across vehicle platforms.
Rebecca Humble, Chief Executive Officer, Aurizn said, “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.”
Aurizn’s contribution drew on its core strengths in:
- Advanced software development.
- Systems engineering and architecture design.
- End-to-end hardware and software integration and verification in controlled environments.
- Disciplined program delivery and risk management.
Aurizn continues 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, providing protected mobile fires capability to the manoeuvre system of armoured vehicles and contributing to Australia’s evolving defence posture.
