The aim of Team Redback is to deliver an infantry fighting vehicle capability to the Commonwealth
1:13
that integrates the best of Korean manufacturing expertise and armoured vehicle design with
1:18
Australian production, supply and integration know-how. Anwa Redback is next-generation IAV developed specifically for the Australian infantryman
1:28
with advantages literally built into it from the ground up. Equipped with advanced situational awareness systems normally found on jet fighters such
1:38
as T-24, Vision and Helmet Slave systems, the Redback rides on rubber tracks that reduce
1:44
noise and vibration by offering superior ride quality for its crew and the soldiers it protects
1:51
The Redback Australian turret has active protection systems, on-board training systems and situational awareness technology all brought together for the first time in a dedicated
2:01
IAV turret designed right from the start around the infantry soldier. Redback's main armament is a MK44S Bushbaster II 30mm cannon capable of firing all kinds
2:13
of 30mm ammunition in service with 17 nations including the US, the UK and other allies
2:20
and NATO forces. The cannon fires ammunition for numerous providers including advanced ammunition, some
2:27
as proximity fuse rounds. The Redback is also armoured with a 7.62mm coaxial machine gun and the electro-optic
2:36
system remote weapon station can be fitted with a range of weapons including a 7.62mm
2:42
machine gun, a .50 caliber machine gun and an automatic grenade launcher
