Building a sovereign capability for Australia

Rheinmetall’s Military Vehicle Centre of Excellence (MILVEHCOE)

Partnering with the Queensland Government, Rheinmetall has established a facility that will be as much a manufacturing contributor to Rheinmetall’s domestic and global programs as it is a focal point for Australia military vehicle technology development.

The real value of the MILVEHCOE as a sovereign capability are elements across the 11ha precinct at Redbank, 25km south west of Brisbane:

vehicle EMC chamber covering the full military and commercial RF spectrum;
vehicle mobility obstacles;
medium calibre firing tunnel for weapon integration and system safety certification;
simulation and training development environments;
onsite metallic and composite armour manufacturing;
cannon assembly;
electro-optic assembly and qualification; and
system integration laboratory.

Each comes together to create a sovereign research and development precinct.
