This enhanced partnership leverages the strengths of both organisations and supports the delivery of Nova Systems’ world-leading Advanced T&E Practitioner Course and T&E Centre of Excellence initiative, building on the successful delivery of the pilot advanced course to Australian Defence Force and industry clients earlier this year.
Nova Systems is announcing new dates for 2025 commencing in February at the Australian Maritime College.
Nova Systems CEO Dean Rosenfield said, “Nova has been investing in T&E, including synthetics and digital mission engineering, as well as importantly developing training to equip T&E practitioners in Defence and industry with the skills and knowledge to deliver world-leading capability.”
Two key focus areas of Nova Systems’ T&E Centre of Excellence have been around future workforce skilling and the impact of evolving capability assurance approaches.
Over the past 12 months, Nova has performed more than 8,000 hours of T&E capability development, training and practitioner development under the Centre of Excellence banner.
This is part of the company’s efforts to mitigate the shortfall of skilled T&E practitioners identified in the Defence Industry Development Strategy of more than 400 in 2024.
Rosenfield added, “Our advanced course comprises the latest international best practice, covering autonomous systems and AI testing in the real-world, as well as incorporating digital environments and tools including modelling and simulation.”
The Advanced T&E Practitioner Course comprises four weeks of intensive and immersive T&E training split into two modules where clients learn advanced theory and practical skills for testing real-world uncrewed and autonomous systems enabled with AI target classification algorithms.
“Nova Systems has also invested in a fleet of uncrewed aerial systems (UAS) specifically for developing methods for validating the digital mission engineering simulations of systems-of-systems of uncrewed and autonomous systems,” Rosenfield said.
The next course commences on 10 February 2025. To request further information or to enroll, email
