What Moog Australia Pty Ltd does

Moog Australia Pty Ltd is a privately held, wholly owned subsidiary of NYSE-listed Moog Inc. (MOG.A/MOG.B), operating in Australia since 1979 and registered as a Defence supplier since 2003. The company designs and manufactures mission-critical motion control and electronic solutions — spanning electrohydraulic (EH), electrohydrostatic (EHA), and electromechanical (EM) actuation systems — for military platforms across Land, Air, and Sea domains. Its product portfolio centres on missile control (fin actuation, divert and attitude control thruster valves, Flexible Missile Platform, Reconfigurable Integrated-weapons Platform), turreted weapon systems, multi-axis control for armoured vehicles (ASLAV, M113AS4, Boxer CRV, M1A1), naval actuation solutions (LHD, AWD, Collins-Class Submarine), and platform conversions and upgrades.

The company's revenue model is hardware-driven, derived primarily from direct enterprise sales to the Australian Defence Force and New Zealand defence forces, supplemented by prime-contractor integration work (notably with Lockheed Martin Australia on GMLRS/HIMARS/F-35 subsystems) and conversion/upgrade programmes. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales through defence procurement processes, supported by a Canberra office for government liaison and a dedicated Global Supply Chain Program (GSCP) team that manages supplier qualification and export pathways for Australian SMEs into Moog's international defence supply chains. Approximately 80% of the ADF's guided weapons inventory utilises Moog motion control content, and GSCP has delivered AUD $1.7B of work to Australian industry since 2007, indicating a customer base that is highly concentrated but deeply embedded in sovereign-defence platforms. Recent strategic priorities include AUKUS-aligned supply chain participation and contribution to Australia's sovereign guided weapons capability via the GWEO enterprise.

Partnerships

Six partnerships are on record, tiered core, supportive and emerging.

• Commonwealth of Australia - Department of DefencecoreStrategic or Co-development PartnerMoog Australia has received a contract to join the Commonwealth of Australia's Department of Defence Global Supply Chain (GSC) Program. This key export initiative provides Australian companies with opportunities in the international supply chains of defence primes. The GSCP plays a critical role in building the international capability of Australian suppliers.
• Lockheed Martin AustraliacoreStrategic or Co-development PartnerMoog Australia signed a contract with Lockheed Martin Australia for the Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System (GMLRS) control actuation system (CAS) development. This positions Moog to support sovereign capability with Lockheed Martin Australia, the Australian Defence Force, and the Commonwealth of Australia. Part of broader Trade Mission coordination.
• Victorian State Government (Global Victoria)supportiveGTM or Marketing PartnerMoog collaborates with the Victorian State Government on supplier summits and trade missions. The partnership aims to create awareness of Australian supplier capabilities and develop diversification of Moog's supply chain by creating export opportunities for Australian-based suppliers.
• ANCA MachinesemergingChannel Partner/ Reseller/ DistributorMelbourne-based ANCA Machines was awarded the first export contract through the Global Supply Chain Program to design and manufacture a grinding machine for Moog Military AG in Torrance. This represents the first major export success for the GSCP program.
• Australian Guided Weapons and Explosive Ordnance Enterprise (GWEO)coreStrategic or Co-development PartnerMoog Australia contributes to the development of Australia's sovereign guided weapons capability in collaboration with the Australian Guided Weapons and Explosive Ordnance Enterprise, Strategic Industry Partners, and Australian Industry.
• AUKUS PartnershipcoreStrategic or Co-development PartnerThe GSCP serves as a pathway for Australian defence industry to bid on existing or future Moog contracts and is a true AUKUS support mechanism. Moog is committed to identify and maximize opportunities for Australian industry across Moog's global operations through AUKUS.

Direct peers

• Thales Australia: Major Australian defence prime providing sonar, combat management, air defence and missile-related systems for naval and land platforms including Collins-Class; a direct competitor for defence motion-control, fire-control, and platform integration content in the same ADF programmes.
• BAE Systems Australia: Largest Australian defence prime, delivering air, land, and naval platforms (including the upgrade of platforms Moog Australia supplies such as the M113AS4 and Collins-Class sustainment work); competes for the same defence content pool, particularly platform integration, sustainment, and guided weapons work under GWEO.
• Lockheed Martin Australia: U.S. prime whose Australian subsidiary is both a customer of Moog Australia (GMLRS CAS development, F-35 support) and a competitor for higher-tier defence integration work; comparable because it draws on the same AUKUS-aligned defence industrial base programmes Moog Australia serves.
• Raytheon Australia: Operates as a Tier-1 Australian defence prime across air defence, naval and guided weapons programmes; a direct competitor for defence content on platforms where Moog Australia supplies motion control subsystems (e.g., air warfare destroyers, air defence, and missile integration work).
• Saab Australia: Provides naval combat, surveillance, and weapon system solutions in Australia including 9LV and torpedo handling systems for platforms such as the Collins-class submarine family; a direct competitor in the naval motion-control and combat systems space.
• Kongsberg Defence Australia: Suppliers of remote weapon stations and turret technology directly comparable to Moog Australia's RIwP and FMP turreted weapon systems; competes for the same ADF ground-vehicle, naval, and remote weapon station content.
• Northrop Grumman Australia: Australian arm of Northrop Grumman delivering C4ISR, autonomous systems, and guided weapons-adjacent capabilities; competes with Moog Australia for defence subsystem and integration content, particularly across naval and air platforms tied to the AUKUS-aligned capability build-out.
• Rheinmetall Defence Australia: Supplies BOXER CRVs (a platform Moog Australia equips) and other military vehicles to the ADF, with growing Australian industrial content; comparable as both a customer on BOXER turret systems and a competitor for vehicle-level and weapon-system integration work.

Broad incumbents

• L3Harris Technologies: Global defence prime with significant Australian presence across electronic warfare, communications, and tactical communications; a broad incumbent that competes for defence electronic and control content in overlapping ADF and AUKUS-aligned programmes.
• Moog Inc. Parent company of Moog Australia and a global leader in precision motion control for military and aerospace applications; directly comparable as the upstream technology source and as the broader incumbent whose portfolio includes missile actuation, turret controls, and naval motion systems that Moog Australia localizes.
