Electro Optic Systems (EOS) is the nation’s second largest ASX-listed defence and aerospace entity, with clear ambitions to reach the number one spot.
In this episode of the Defence Connect Podcast, host Phil Tarrant is joined by the technology company’s CEO of defence, Grant Sanderson, to discuss EOS’ recent $100 million contract with the Australian Army, the process for generating innovation within the organisation, and EOS’ view towards the future of the defence industry.
Sanderson reflects on how the business has met its service and support obligations throughout the pandemic, whether Australia has the sovereign manufacturing capability to meet its domestic and international export needs, and the biggest challenges being faced by EOS at the moment.
