The Redback Infantry Fighting Vehicle (IFV) will be displayed in full size, for the first time in the European market, highlighting its next-generation capabilities to meet the needs of
European customers looking for advanced combat vehicles with enhanced manoeuvrability and protection technologies.

The Redback was shortlisted in 2019 as one of the two final bidders for Australia’s LAND 400 Phase 3 program. Last year, the futuristic combat vehicle successfully completed the final tests and evaluations conducted by the Australian Defence Force to prove its lethality, manoeuvrability and survivability, followed by South Korean Army’s test trials in recent months.

In Europe, the Redback has drawn keen attention in the wake of the ongoing conflict in some part of the region, as many European armed forces are seeking to acquire combat vehicles
fitted with state-of-the-art armoured protection capabilities against anti-tank weapons, and all-terrain manoeuvrability.

The Redback employs several innovative protection and situation awareness technologies, such as the Iron Fist hard-kill active protection system; the Iron Vision “see-through” helmet mounted display; the Solar Sigma Shield against adversary detection and engagement systems. The Composite Rubber Track is one of the new-generation technologies adopted by the Redback to reduce noise and vibration substantially while offering superior ride quality for its crews.

“The Redback proved its lethality, manoeuvrability and survivability during the Australian Risk Mitigation Activity in Australia, and following test trials in South Korea,” said Billy Lee, Executive Vice President of Overseas Business Division at Hanwha Defense. “With the growing requirements on advanced IFVs with enhanced protection and mobility, Redback’s competitiveness in the global IFV markets will increase further.”
