Press Release, Haifa, 16 August 2023: Elbit Systems announced today that its partner in the Australian Land 400 Phase 3 project, Hanwha Defense Australia, has reported that it was down-selected by the Australian Government, as the preferred tenderer for the Project, with final Government approval to be sought at the conclusion of contract negotiations. Hanwha further reported that Elbit Systems is a key partner to Hanwha to deliver the Redback Infantry Fighting Vehicle (IFV) under the Project.
