Quality is not just a metric; it is the foundation of our engineering integrity.
At REDARC Defence & Space, our engineering philosophy is built upon a foundation of absolute precision and reliability. We are proud to announce that our organisation has officially achieved AS9100D certification — the globally recognised quality management standard specifically developed for the aerospace and defence industry.
This certification is far more than a statement of compliance; it represents a rigorous, top-to-bottom alignment of our management systems, risk mitigation strategies, and manufacturing processes with international aerospace best practices. For our prime contractor partners and the Australian Defence Force, this milestone provides the assurance that every electronic system and component designed and manufactured within our dedicated Defence & Space facility meets the highest levels of process maturity and product consistency.
As the operational requirements of the modern battlespace become increasingly complex, the need for a resilient, high-quality supply chain has never been greater. Achieving AS9100D certification reinforces our position as a trusted, sovereign partner capable of delivering mission-critical technology that is hardened, reliable, and produced to the exacting standards required for international aerospace and defence applications. This marks the beginning of our next chapter of continuous improvement and operational excellence for our team.
Scott Begbie, Executive General Manager at REDARC Defence & Space, emphasised the strategic importance of the milestone:
“Achieving AS9100D certification is a testament to our team’s unwavering commitment to engineering excellence. It provides our defence partners with the absolute certainty that our sovereign manufacturing capabilities meet the most stringent quality requirements in the world, ensuring mission readiness when it matters most.”
The certification was awarded following a comprehensive audit by TQCSI.
“REDARC Defence & Space has demonstrated a robust and highly mature approach to quality management,” noted Sean Bates, Vice-President and Chief Executive Officer at TQCSI. “Their alignment with the AS9100D standard highlights a clear dedication to mitigating risk and delivering consistent, top-tier results in a highly demanding sector.”
Fabien Claudon, Group Risk & Quality Manager at REDARC said: “This AS9100D certification is a great milestone reflecting the dedication, collaboration, and perseverance of every member of the team. This is also a recognition of the REDARC culture of continuous improvement and commitment to quality that we can all be proud of”.
