“EOS is a supplier and exporter of remote weapons systems, and has previously supplied 235 R400S Mk1 Remote Weapons for our Bushmaster Protected Mobility Vehicle,” the Minister remarked. “Today’s facility opening highlights the key role that defence exports play to both support our troops and allies in battle, as well as create more Australian jobs in our defence industry.”

He said the move will expand the company’s export production capacity to $20 million a month by 2020, placing EOS in a perfect position for significant future growth.
“EOS’ success is a demonstration of what can be achieved when Government and industry work together and our Defence Export Strategy will further realise this.”
