The $527.2 million investment is designed to support the delivery of a range of lethal equipment to the Australian Defence Force, including:

  • enhanced shotguns;
  • personal defence weapons;
  • pistols, laser sights;
  • sniper systems; and
  • breaching systems.

In 2020, NIOA agreed to support Defence with approach to market, test and evaluation as well as the selection of systems.
