Our story

World-leading defence technology, made in Australia

DefendTex was established in 2014 and is an Australian-owned company serving military and law-enforcement communities around the world. Our vision is to be a world leader in defence technology, with a wide portfolio of locally designed and manufactured capabilities equipping Australian and allied defence forces.

DefendTex has company headquarters in Australia — home to administration, engineering, prototyping and production — and offices in the USA and UK to support relationships with defence and law-enforcement agencies and reach export markets.

Recognised as one of the most innovative defence technology companies in Australia, DefendTex focuses on delivering tactical-level technology where there are capability deficiencies. State-of-the-art facilities and an extensive design and engineering team enable us to produce world-leading weapons technology, backed by significant investment in research and development and sound governance across all functions.

DefendTex has entered bilateral research agreements with Australian and international partners including universities and the Defence Science and Technology Group, partnering with over 30 universities and research institutions — with many technologies also benefitting civilian applications in mining, oil & gas and construction.
