According to a Tweet published by BAE Systems Australia on November 22, 2021, the company has delivered 20 M113A4 Optionally Crewed Combat Vehicles to the Australian Army.
The M113AS4 is the standard tracked armored personnel carrier in service with the Australian armed and the APC will be replaced by a new tracked IFV (Infantry Fighting Vehicle) in the next few years in the framework of Project LAND 400 Phase 3 program of the Australian army.
In November 2019, the Australian Army has demonstrated a pair of autonomous armored vehicles M113AS4 that it will use to study how robots will impact the battlefield of the future. At the Majura Training Site in the Australian Capital Territory, two specially modified M113AS4 tracked armored vehicles carried out battlefield simulations while the Chief of the Army looked on.
In August 2020, BAE Systems has announced the development of autonomous technologies integrated into the Australian army M113 AS4 tracked APCs. The new project followed the conversion and trial of two optionally crewed M113 Armored Personnel Carriers last year and another two earlier this year.
