LAND 53-1BR Tranche 2

LAND 159 / LAND 4108



• To enhance or supplement the equipment delivered under LAND 53 Phase 1BR Tranche 1 (night vision binocular and laser aiming devices).

• Emerging technology will provide multi-spectral capability to the dismounted combatant, and must be technically mature and able to be supported in Australia from 2020.

• Primary focus is Combat Ready Brigades and Special Forces.• Budget is approximately AU$ 220m.• Key timings:

LAND 159 – Small Arms Replacement &LAND 4108 – Direct Fire Support Weapons Replacement

LAND 159 Small Arms ReplacementLAND 4108 Direct Fire Support Weapons Replacement

LAND 159 Small Arms will equip ADF combatants with the next generation of grenades, pistols, assault rifles, machine guns, sniper weapon, shotguns and the enabling ancillaries, munitions, target, range improvements, simulation systems and WINBMS integration to realise the potential lethality enhancement.

LAND 4108 Direct Fire Weapons will deliver the next generation of light mortars, short, medium and long range direct fire support weapons as well as small armed drones, command detonated and unmanned weapons systems.

Together, these projects comprise the proposed Lethality Projects that are the subject of this plan. Lethality enables the land combatant to effectively engage threats with lethal and non-lethal force.


• Hand-to-Hand-Fighting Weapon System• Grenades• Personal Defence Weapons (eg. Pistol)• Assault rifles• Shotguns• Machine guns – light, medium and heavy • DFSW – short, medium and long range• Sniper weapons – medium range, long

range and anti-material• Light weight mortar• Light weight Automatic Grenade

Launcher• Command detonated munitions• Remote Weapon Systems• Loitering munitions• Less than lethal capability• Method of entry capability

Up to 21 weapon systems that require integration of:

• The Soldier Combat System• Battle Management System• Combined Arms Fighting System

vehicles• Allies and Coalition partners• Training and Target Systems

• Live firing• Simulation

• Defence and industry support chain
