CEO Rohan Stocker said the project would benefit from Marand’s capability in high specification welding and large-scale manufacturing.
“After many years of successful exports to Kongsberg in Norway as part of the F-35 program, we are delighted to be engaged directly with Kongsberg Defence Australia and contribute to the increase of strike capability for the Royal Australian Navy,” Mr Stocker said.
Kongsberg Defence Australia General Manager, John Fry, said the company was excited to be given the opportunity to build Australia’s Naval Strike Missiles and supporting equipment.
“This fifth generation, highly capable, long-range, precision strike weapon is an important maritime strike capability for our Navy.
“As we increase our Australian presence, Kongsberg Defence Australia is focused on expanding our local manufacturing base, and partnering with key suppliers such as Marand, to deliver high quality competitive sub-assemblies into our final production line.”
