July 14, 2020 - Abaco Systems announced a partnership with REDARC Defence Systems Pty Ltd. The partnership will allow both companies to further align with the needs of the growing Australian defense sector for embedded computing applications. Each company brings complementary strengths and capabilities to the military aerospace (Mil Aero) market. REDARC Defence Systems (REDARC), based in South Australia, was formed in 2019 from REDARC Electronics to service the growing Australian and global defense markets. For 40 years REDARC has designed and manufactured advanced electronics equipment including power conversion, battery health and usage monitoring, towed vehicle brake controllers and sensing as well as control and power distribution.
Abaco is a provider of embedded computing solutions and is known as a specialist in open architecture computing and electronic systems for aerospace, defense, and industrial applications. The decision to move forward with a strategic partnership came after introductions were made by Team Defence Australia at Defence and Security Equipment International (DSEI 2019.) Abaco and REDARC have since positioned the partnership to align with Australian government requirements and drive Australian sales in major defense programs leveraging the Abaco global sales team. Abaco Systems and REDARC will collaborate on multiple emerging Australian opportunities, including LAND400, Air6500, Plan Jericho, Loyal Wingman and others.
Both teams have complementary capabilities in embedded hardware manufacturing, integration, global supply chain, and logistics, along with deep expertise in Australian industries. This mix of portfolio and capabilities will enable modernization of Australian defense programs across all domains, while positioning for emerging technologies and programs such as hypersonics, autonomous systems, artificial intelligence and directed energy.
