Australia has invested $94 million for New South Wales-based space and defence company Electro Optic Systems (EOS) to supply 251 Remote Weapon Stations to increase the lethality of the Australian Defence Force’s (ADF) protected mobility vehicles.

The move comes as Australia invests in the capability to deliver its new defence strategy, which includes sending the message that it is willing to respond with military force to protect its interests from foreign threats.
