The company was absorbed into Land Systems OMC, part of BAE Systems.
Sandock-Austral has developed a number of notable products, such as:
- The Ratel infantry fighting vehicle.

It was also responsible for the construction of the SAS Drakensberg, South Africa's most sophisticated indigenous warship.
