REDARC Defence Systems (REDARC), based in South Australia, was formed in 2019 from REDARC Electronics to service the growing Australian and global defense markets.

Both teams have complementary capabilities in rugged embedded hardware manufacturing, integration, global supply chain, and logistics, along with deep expertise in Australian industries.
