Royal Australian Navy Discussions and Updates 2.0

[ADMk2]

Seen several posts over the years suggesting we have selected the RAFAEL ‘Typhoon-Mk30C’ RCWS, but have yet to find any hard data confirming this. Only a speculative purchase worth ‘tens of millions’ by an ‘unknown Asian customer’ back in 22’. The most detailed article I could find suggested 4 likely customers, none of which was Australia. Was hoping one of you could enlighten me with greater detail, cheers.

The news was a DTR Magazine exclusive in May 2022. Not sure why defence haven’t announced it, unless it is under review or perhaps tied into a common gun system for the Arafuras and still under consideration, but both BAE and Rafael confirmed it at the time.

You need a subscription (now free) to read about it, but that’s the link below:
