About Birdon
Founded in Port Macquarie in 1977, Birdon is a proudly Australian manufacturer and prime contractor providing agile, whole-of-life solutions to multinational defence, government, marine, energy, and resource customers.
We have a proven history of supplying end-to-end solutions for Defence projects and exporting that capability worldwide, delivering many high profile and high value programs for military customers. Today Birdon is manufacturing and delivering over 100 military watercraft every year to nations on the frontline of defence.
The Project
Birdon is responding to a defence Request for Tender (RFT) CASG/SHIP/RFT18421/21 seeking tenders for the design, manufacture, test, delivery and supply of Air Droppable Sea Boats (ADSB) for Army and sea boats of up to approximately 8.5m for Navy. The Navy Sea Boats (NSB) will outfit two new classes of Royal Australian Navy ships: Hunter Class Frigates and Maritime Mine Counter Measures and Military Survey vessels.
The owners of Birdon are passionate about maximising opportunities for local industry and drive that culture and approach within the organisation and as a result we are continuing to expand our network of Australian and NZ manufacturers and suppliers through our association with the NSW ICN to ensure we maximise opportunities for Australian and NZ industry to participate in this project and others.
