The Defence Science and Technology Laboratory and Australia’s Defence Science and Technology Group have unveiled a groundbreaking partnership to develop next-generation subsystems for low-cost weapon systems by combining cutting-edge technologies from both countries.

The partnership is reported to integrate the UK’s Modular Weapons Testbed with Australia’s SHARKTOOTH program.

The program includes an innovative “plug-and-play” modular technology designed to accelerate the adoption of advanced yet affordable weapon technologies. This integration marks a major advancement in complex weapons development and will help speed up the industry’s development of guided weapon subsystems while reducing risks.
