Speaking before the Australian Senate Estimates Committee in early June, the Chief of Army, Lt Gen Rick Burr, said that Project Land 200 has been ‘paused’ in operational units because accreditation for Elbit’s 7.1 version of its software — based on the TORC2H system in Israeli service — was due to expire on 30 June 2021 and the version 9.1 software upgrade that was to replace it as part of the Land 200 contract was not ready.
