Moog Australia Increases Collaboration with BAE Systems Australia
to Build Australian Industry Capability
Moog Australia has hosted a visit by BAE Systems Australia’s AMV35 Combat Reconnaissance
Vehicle and Team to its facility in Melbourne to signal greater collaboration between the two
companies. Moog staff inspected the AMV35, BAE Systems’ offering for the Australian Defence
Force’s LAND 400 Phase 2 Combat Reconnaissance Vehicle project.
Moog and BAE Systems are working to increase coordination on the LAND 400 and F-35 Joint
Strike Fighter programs. Moog has recently invested in a significant expansion of its Melbourne
multi-use facility to now support air, land and sea platforms of the Australian Defence Force. Moog
Australia Managing Director Bryan O’Connor said: “Moog Australia’s purpose built lean facility
allows for a future expansion, which has made us an attractive partner for highly complex Defence
projects and importantly provides Australia with Sovereign industrial capability.”
BAE Systems Australia’s choice of Moog Australia for the Land 400 bid and as a potential
Maintenance Support Network provider for the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program will result in the
creation of 25 highly skilled jobs. BAE Systems Australia Chief Executive Glynn Phillips said:
“Australia’s defence industry is recognised for its world-class capabilities and the companies that
we have selected to work with us on these important programs have both proven experience and
leading edge manufacturing capabilities.”
