Corvus Technology opens Victorian manufacturing facility
Corvus Technology Solutions has opened its new advanced manufacturing facility in Victoria, establishing a new defence manufacturing capability in Victoria, supported by successful collaboration with South Korean partners and a growing local industrial base.
The facility will support Corvus’ UAV launcher program and strengthen the company’s ability to contribute to broader defence manufacturing opportunities. The latest unit of heavy payload, electric EL10 launcher unit is now being prepared for shipment to a customer, underscoring the program’s momentum and the rapid transition from capability development to real-world delivery.
The company’s in-arm suspension unit (ISU) and launcher programs have demonstrated Corvus’ capacity to industrialise complex defence products locally. Corvus is working alongside major global defence partners, including through collaboration with Hanwha Defence Australia on the Redback Infantry Fighting Vehicle program under LAND 400 Phase 3.
The opening comes at a time when Victoria is sharpening its focus on advanced manufacturing, supply chain resilience and defence industry growth. The Victorian Defence Vision Statement 2030 says Victoria’s defence sector is to become “a global defence and national security powerhouse that delivers critical capabilities and workforce talent for Australia and its partners”, with a strong emphasis on investment, resilient supply chains, innovation and skills.
“This facility represents a significant step forward for Corvus and for Victoria’s defence manufacturing capability,” said Nick Williams, CEO of Corvus Technology.” What we are celebrating today is not only a new site, but the establishment of real defence capability in Victoria — built through strong collaboration with our South Korean partners, supported by local expertise, and focused on delivering advanced defence technology.”
