XTEK wins new supply contract with police

The estimated size of the market for EOD and surveillance robots used in Australian law enforcement is in excess of $20 million.

The contract includes maintenance component which will provide valuable recurring revenue.

Potential exists for further contract wins as most robots used by Australian law enforcement agencies will need to be replaced and/or upgraded in the near future.

Phillipe Odouard, managing director, commented: “We are an industry leader when it comes to the supply of unmanned vehicles for land, air or sea to security and military forces in this country.

“This means XTEK is well placed to benefit from the growing demand for such vehicles at a time of heightened public safety concern from the threat of terrorism.”
