HOW WE Make it

The Team at CAI is focused on Engineering, Design, Test and Evaluation. All design and assembly work for flight test vehicles and associated equipment is completed in house by our engineers.

For Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP) and scale manufacturing of aerial systems & launchers, we have partnered with Secure Bits - Advanced Manufacturing Division. Another wholly veteran owned and veteran community business, located here in Canberra. Secure Bits is a trusted supplier to Defence and Other Government Agencies, and is a DISP level 2 member with security cleared staff and facilities.

Secure Bits breadth of sovereign manufacturing capabilities provides the ability for all bespoke systems and sub-systems to be fabricated by a single provider resulting in the enablement of rapid prototyping and the ability to scale manufacturing as required.

This partnership provides the capability for both low and medium-rate production of the entire Lapwing Tactical Missile System onshore. By leveraging Secure Bits’ established facilities and expertise, Carrot Aero Innovations ensures a robust, secure, and sovereign supply chain for its technologies, reinforcing local Australian industry.
