South Australian technology company APC Technology has emerged as a significant contributor to the Australian Army’s LAND 400 Phase 3 Project, collaborating closely with Hanwha Defence Australia (HDA) to design, engineer, and manufacture advanced display systems for next-generation combat vehicles.
APC Technology is providing both the Australian Standard Generic Vehicle Architecture (ASGVA) screens and large briefing displays that will be integrated into the Redback Infantry Fighting Vehicles (IFVs) and Joint Fires (JF) vehicles. These mission-critical systems are being designed and manufactured in South Australia, highlighting the state’s increasing importance in delivering sovereign defence capabilities.
Following project mobilization in mid-2024, which initiated a comprehensive design and engineering phase, APC Technology successfully completed a rigorous two-stage prototyping process by early 2025. This process involved meeting, and in several instances surpassing, stringent environmental testing and demanding technical standards.
Craig Williams, Managing Director of APC Technology, emphasized the project’s significance in showcasing the company’s technical capabilities and its dedication to Australian innovation.
“Our team has demonstrated exceptional engineering and manufacturing capabilities throughout the LAND 400 Phase 3 program,” said Williams. “Exceeding environmental testing standards and achieving key milestones underscores our commitment to delivering world-class defence technology. This project is a clear demonstration of Australian innovation and expertise within the defence sector.”
Beyond meeting critical performance requirements, APC Technology has also provided vital support to Hanwha Defence Australia in achieving key contractual and operational objectives, further solidifying its position as a trusted and highly capable defence industry partner.
Hanwha Defence Australia has acknowledged APC Technology’s crucial role in the development of the LAND 400 mission system.
“APC Technology’s specialized expertise in designing and manufacturing mission-critical displays has been instrumental in the development of the mission system for LAND 400 Phase 3,” stated a spokesperson for HDA. “APC’s proven ability to deliver high-quality, robust solutions that meet demanding defence standards ensures that our platforms will remain at the forefront of technological excellence. We look forward to the continued success of this important collaboration.”
The ongoing partnership between APC Technology and Hanwha Defence Australia remains focused on driving innovation and evolving the capabilities of future defence platforms to effectively meet the evolving operational needs of the Australian Defence Force.
With the successful completion of the prototyping phase, APC Technology is now actively preparing to scale up its operations for full-rate production, which is anticipated to commence in 2026.
Through its advanced engineering capabilities, precision manufacturing processes, and an unwavering commitment to delivering mission-critical defence solutions, APC Technology continues to be a leading force within Australia’s defence industry, playing a key role in shaping the future of Army capability under the LAND 400 Phase 3 Project.
