XTEK receives Defence orders for SUAS systems, spares and software

XTEK announced that it has received a new purchase order totalling A$2.75 million from the Commonwealth of Australia’s Department of Defence, for “Wasp” Small Unmanned Aerial Systems (SUAS) systems. This new A$2.75 million order adds to other orders, also recently received from Defence for SUAS spare parts and related specialist software, worth a total combined value of A$4.94 million. Scott Basham, XTEK’s Group CEO, said: “This new order from Defence totalling A$2.75m for new Wasp systems, in combination with A$2.19 million of other SUAS orders recently received for spare parts and related specialist software licences – including XTEK’s own Australian-made XTatlas software – are provided as part of the ongoing Support Contract we have with Defence for the Land 129 Phase 4A project. The systems and spare parts from this order will be held in our state-of-the-art SUAS repair facility in Canberra, and the specialist software, including our XTatlas software, will be deployed to key locations around the country, and be used to keep this important UAV capability operational for Defence.” For Editorial Inquiries Contact: Editor Kym Bergmann at [email protected] For Advertising Inquiries Contact: Director of Sales Graham Joss at [email protected]
