Deployable forensics lab for Australian Army
Indra Australia has been selected by the Australian government to design and manufacture a Level 2 deployable forensic laboratory capability for IED analysis, the company announced on 9 October.
The system will facilitate the rapid collection, analysis and documentation of evidence from any improvised explosive device (IED). The capability is being procured under Project LAND 154 Phase 2 at a value of AUD$36 million. The system will be used primarily by the Australian Army.
According to the company, over 90% of the contract will be executed by Australian equipment manufacturers and distributors. Daronmont Technologies will manufacture the laboratory shelters to the operational, environmental and technical specifications required by Australia.
During contract execution, Indra will transfer technology to ensure that the systems can be maintained and sustained entirely and independently in Australia.
Indra has supplied similar systems to clients worldwide, including the European Defence Agency.
