Building European-Australian defence partnerships with Bavaria
6 March 2025

Canberra Dynamics was privileged to join UNSW Canberra Launch in welcoming representatives from the Free State of Bavaria (Freistaat Bayern) and their distinguished business delegation at their Northbourne Avenue facility. The delegation included senior representatives from the Bavarian State Ministry of Regional Development and Economy, alongside executives from leading defence sector enterprises.
Among the esteemed visitors were representatives from RENK Group, a global leader in advanced transmission systems for military vehicles, and TDW Gesellschaft für verteidigungstechnische Wirksysteme mbH, specialists in warhead systems for platforms such as ASRAAM, Naval Strike Missile (NSM), Evolved Sea Sparrow Missile (ESSM), and METEOR, all in service with the Australian Defence Force.
As an Australian defence technology company specialising in next-generation military systems, Canberra Dynamics recognises the strategic importance of strengthening European-Australian partnerships. Bavaria is a global hub for precision engineering, aerospace, and advanced defence manufacturing, presenting significant opportunities for collaboration with Australia’s growing defence industrial base. The synergies between our respective capabilities offer potential for knowledge transfer, joint R&D, and industrial cooperation.
Discussions with the delegation explored several promising avenues, including strategic investment in Australian defence technology, market expansion initiatives, and integrating Australian capabilities into European supply chains. There was also strong interest in joint development projects and technology transfer arrangements to enhance sovereign manufacturing.
We look forward to continuing this dialogue and building enduring partnerships that advance our shared security interests. As global defence challenges evolve, fostering strong international industry ties will be critical to ensuring technological superiority and operational readiness. Canberra Dynamics welcomes further engagement with industry partners to drive innovation and strengthen Australia’s defence capabilities.
