The replacement of the Army’s Shadow 200 Tactical Unmanned Aerial System (TUAS) through project LAND 129 Phase 3 has progressed to the tendering stage, when Defence announced in March that four companies have been shortlisted to bid for the project. They are Insitu Pacific Ltd, Leidos Australia, Raytheon Australia Pty Ltd and Textron Systems Australia Pty Ltd. Defence says that they have been selected through an abbreviated Invitation to Register process and will be provided a detailed Request for Tender to further explore plans and conceptual integration designs.
