The Australian Army has been progressing with the implementation of the FLAIM System’s Sweeper fully immersive countermine and explosive hazard awareness simulation solution. One year after acquiring the capability, the branch entered in 2025 in the second phase of the programme.
This stage involves training teams of soldiers together to perform countermining missions and be prepared to jointly sweep the same minefield.
On display at the SOF Week 2025 exhibition, in Tampa, Florida, this solution uses virtual reality to simulate mine and explosive hazards without exposing personnel to dangerous environments. It replicates scenarios with landmines, anti-personnel mines, vehicle

More than 1,200 Dingo 1 and Dingo 2 models have been built and deployed by some 10 countries. The latest Dingo 3 pulls through from user inputs and, like earlier versions, is also based on a UNIMOG chassis.
The company’s new variants of 4×6 and 6×6 vehicles are designed to be modular for a greater variety of missions and also flexibility at a subsystem level, for example transmission and engine.
The branch plans to speed up the building and procurement of kinetic and non-kinetic systems for fixed, semi-fixed and on-the-move operations.
Wheeled vehicles ranging in size from 4×4 to 8×8 provide high-speed at a good level of mobility compared to tracked. However, tracked can be larger and have a higher level of mobility in marginal terrain with a smaller turning circle. What are the possibilities for a 10×10?
The Borsuk vehicles are to replace the Soviet-designed BMP-1 as the Polish military’s main tracked Infantry Fighting Vehicle (IFV).
The package of three standalone follow-on contracts makes this the largest contract won by the Australian company and larger than its total 2024 revenue.
