Hanwha Defense Australia (HDA) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with AI and Internet of Things (IoT) specialists 4Zero Technologies, sister company Hanwha Systems and builds on the MoU already in place with Deakin University for future work on Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satcomms. The signing ceremony took place at the Land Forces International Land Expo in Brisbane.
“LEO satcomms is an exciting space and we are partnering with some of Australia’s leading companies in this domain,” said Richard Cho, Managing Director of HDA. “Our recent familiarisation trip to Korea with these organisations was a great chance for everyone to see how we can work together, not just in Australia but more widely.”
“The 4Zero team are pleased to collaborate with Hanwha Defense Australia and Hanwha Systems on a new generation of battlespace communication and interoperability capabilities,” said Bela Farbas, CEO of 4Zero. “Our visit to Hanwha Systems in Korea presented several exciting opportunities for collaboration between our organisations.”
“We hope that we will be able to take a step forward to participate in the Australian military tactical communication business through strategic partnerships with Australian companies with technological competitiveness,” Juntae Ko, vice president of Hanwha Systems said. “We will do our best to create great results for Australian-Korean militaries and companies through this agreement.”
Earlier this year at the Farnborough Air Show, HDA, Hanwha Systems and OneWeb announced their MoU to explore opportunities in the Australian Defence market. This new MoU builds upon that strong foundation. HDA is looking at further opportunities to partner with innovative companies in the space as requirements are developed and confirmed.
