Boeing Defence Australia has opened a new defence test facility at Wacol south of Brisbane.
Minister for Defence Industry Melissa Price helped cut the ribbon on the new facility on Monday.
Boeing Defence Australia said in a statement the “ground-breaking environmental and electromagnetic test facility” would enable all the design, development, testing and assembly work for its battlespace communication system, known as Project Currawong, to be completed locally.
“To date, we have delivered ahead of schedule on all components of this complex system,” Project Currawong program director Ian Vett said in a statement on Monday.
