ADF LAND 300 Sidearm Weapon System (SWS) Update

Big Milestone for the LAND 300 Program!

The LAND 300 program (formerly LAND 159) has reached a major achievement with the Sidearm Weapon System (SWS), hitting initial fielding ahead of schedule.

Thanks to the collaborative efforts of NIOA, CASG and the Australian Army, the SWS is now ready for service. It features the Sig Sauer P320 pistol, Romeo 2 red dot sight, white light torch, holster and retractable lanyard, which will be officially known by Defence as the F9 Pistol in service.

This milestone represents a significant leap forward for our defence capabilities. Stay tuned for more updates!
