REDARC, a leading Australian innovator in advanced portable power solutions and electronic systems, today announced the acquisition of Asension's intellectual property (IP). Asension, a renowned veteran-owned Electronic Warfare (EW) company, announced voluntary administration earlier this year.
REDARC Defence & Space will leverage Asension’s IP to continue advancing electronic warfare, engineering, and operations, while expanding partnerships with Universities, the Defence Science and Technology Group, and industry partners. The acquisition of Asension’s innovative Wombat and MOESS solutions will support the development of sophisticated sovereign technologies to enhance Australia’s Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance, and Electronic Warfare (ISREW) capabilities.
In 2022, Asension was awarded a significant $4.35 million grant through the Defence Innovation Hub to develop a space-based tactical sensor system for Defence.
As part of the REDARC Group, REDARC Defence & Space is dedicated to delivering cutting-edge technology to meet the evolving demands of the defence and space industries. Through the acquisition of Asension’s intellectual property, REDARC Defence & Space will continue to develop and deploy critical defence technologies.
This acquisition underscores REDARC’s commitment to supporting the Australian Defence Industry and strengthening Australia’s sovereign defence capabilities.
This Australian Made Week, we are celebrating what local manufacturing means to REDARC, our customers and the wider industry. From our home in South Australia, we have been manufacturing products trusted by travellers, trades, fleets, emergency services and defence applications across Australia and around the world since 1979.
REDARC delivers simple, at-a-glance battery visibility with its new RedVision Essentials Display, a bright, hardwired display that makes it easy to know your power level without relying on a phone or complex menus.
Recently, REDARC welcomed Hilton Riggins and Peter Favilla from the North American team to REDARC HQ, providing an opportunity to strengthen connections, share insights and further align global teams as REDARC continues to expand internationally.
