Codan Secures Land 4140 Radio Program Contract in South Australia
What happened
Codan unveiled a proposal for the Land 4140 Work Package 16 Tactical Edge Radio program. This solution is built around the Sentry 6161 radio, which is already in service with the Australian Army. Codan's facility in Mawson Lakes, South Australia, serves as the established production base for the Sentry 6161.
Why it matters
The proposal aims to support sovereign communications capability and strengthen Australia’s advanced manufacturing base. The technology allows the Australian Defence Force to use different waveforms for various missions, which could reduce reliance on a single waveform supplier.
