Corvus Technology Solutions opens new manufacturing facility in Victoria

The new facility will support Corvus’ UAV Launcher program and strengthen the company’s ability to contribute to broader defence manufacturing opportunities.

The latest unit of heavy payload, electric EL10 Launcher unit is now being prepared for shipment to a customer. The ISU and Launcher programs have demonstrated Corvus’ capacity to industrialise complex defence products locally.

“This facility represents a significant step forward for Corvus and for Victoria’s defence manufacturing capability,” according to Corvus Technology Solutions chief executive officer Nick Williams.

“What we are celebrating today is not only a new site, but the establishment of real defence capability in Victoria, built through strong collaboration with our South Korean partners, supported by local expertise, and focused on delivering advanced defence technology.

“It also reflects our ambition to contribute to larger defence programs by bringing together local manufacturing, trusted international partnerships and laser focus on sovereign capability.”

Corvus is working alongside major global defence partners, including through collaboration with Hanwha Defence Australia on the Redback Infantry Fighting Vehicle program under LAND 400 Phase 3.

The new site represents for Corvus both immediate delivery capability and enduring industrial growth.

“This is a strong vote of confidence in Victorian supply chain businesses and their ability to deliver for major Australian Army defence projects, while creating highly skilled jobs across the state,” according to Minister for Industry and Advanced Manufacturing, Defence Industry, Skills and TAFE Colin Brooks.

The event highlighted the strength of collaboration across government, industry and international stakeholders, with guests including representatives from the Victorian Government, the Republic of Korea, Hanwha Australia, MNCS, and Corvus suppliers.
