Guided Weapons

Raytheon Australia is a Strategic Partner to the Commonwealth’s Sovereign Guided Weapons and Explosive Ordnance (GWEO) Enterprise.

Guided weapons are critical to Australia’s current and future military capability. The Commonwealth’s plan to manufacture, support and upgrade these weapons in Australia serves as the foundation of our sovereign defence capability and will strengthen our national supply chain resilience.

Raytheon Australia will support this vital national security endeavour, drawing on the experience, expertise and intellectual property of our parent company, Raytheon Technologies, to provide the Australian Defence Force with access to the most advanced guided weapons in the world.

Raytheon Australia’s role in this national endeavour will incorporate state of the art guided weapons production facilities, sustainment and support services, and will generate opportunities for Australian businesses across the supply chain.
