As part of the collaborative agreement, KBR and DEWC will share skills and experiences to develop novel solutions to meet some of the evolving electronic spectrum challenges currently faced by the ADF.
Nic Maan, vice-president of government solutions APAC at KBR, said, “We are very keen to get ahead of the curve in meeting the nation’s defence and security ambitions and we see enormous potential in our two companies working together.”
KBR’s global enterprise plays a central role in developing leading edge space and related capabilities including satellite, ground systems, space communications, and mission operations support across NASA and the US Department of Defense.
“KBR will leverage our history in space and spectrum management, protection and assurance from the US to transfer knowledge and capabilities to our Australian business in collaboration with DEWC,” Maan added.
DEWC is an Australian based specialist Command Control, Communications and Computing, Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance and Electronic Warfare (C4ISREW) business that supports the Department of Defence and related organisations in the areas of capability development, science and technology research, and operational support.
Alan Dundas, chief executive officer of DEWC, highlighted the role this collaborative partnership would play in future-proofing the ADF, saying, “DEWC is committed to supporting Defence via a range of mission-critical activities within C4ISREW. Working together, I believe that both DEWC and KBR can build upon our shared experience, helping increase mission success and ensure our warfighters can operate safely and effectively.”
KBR employs approximately 33,000 people performing diverse, complex, and mission-critical roles in 33 countries.
KBR is proud to work with its customers across the globe to provide technology, value-added services, and long-term operations and maintenance services to ensure consistent delivery with predictable results.
