L3Harris Delivers Life-Saving Robotic Systems to Keep Australian Defence Personnel Out of Harm’s Way

ADELAIDE, Australia, May 19, 2026 - L3Harris Technologies (NYSE: LHX) has delivered advanced robotic systems designed to protect Australian Defence Force (ADF) personnel. The technology can handle the most dangerous tasks, from neutralizing explosive devices to responding to hazardous materials threats.

Life-saving robotics technology keeps operators at a safe distance during high-risk missions. With T4 and T7 multi-mission robotic systems now delivered to Defence, ADF personnel will have the capability to detect, inspect and neutralize threats without direct exposure to danger.

"Simply put, these robots save lives," said Ian Charles, Managing Director, Global Spectrum Superiority Australia, L3Harris. "When an ADF operator uses one of these systems to investigate a suspicious device or clear a dangerous route, they're better protected from potential harm. With sustainment operations based in Brisbane, we're ensuring this technology remains mission-ready while strengthening Australia's sovereign defence capability."

ADF personnel have completed intensive training at RAAF Base Amberley in Queensland and the Defence Explosive Ordnance Training School in Sydney, preparing them to deploy these protective systems in real-world scenarios.

The L3Harris robotic fleet, delivered under a 2023 contract, supports the DEF08101 program's mission to enhance explosive ordnance disposal capabilities, enabling safer improvised explosive device neutralization, exploitation and route clearance operations that previously put personnel at significant risk.
