Our Capabilities

Over the years, South Africa has developed world leading Defence, Commercial and Industrial Industry solutions and products. This was driven through many decades of investment into training, development and research, resulting in the creation of some of the worlds most renowned technology products, supported by experienced local scientists, engineers, technicians and operators in the Defence and Commercial Sector.

Over the last decade, however the pressure experienced by the South African fiscus has had a negative impact on government-led research and development investment, resulting in a number of companies scaling down, consolidating or even shutting down. SanDock Austral identified a gap in the market of certain specialised sub-system technologies that remained a key requirement for both local and regional security forces for the purposes of defence capability rejuvenation and through-life support.

SanDock Austral therefore started from the ground up, working with Tier 1 & 2 entities as a strategic intermediary, while concurrently building its own technology base through selected development projects of specialised technology products.
