Nova Systems showcased the breadth of local Australian talent utilised by the company at Land Forces this week, which includes over 300 Australian companies.
According to the company, Nova Systems generates some $20 billion of work throughout a number of projects, supporting the Australian economy and the workforce. Current estimates identify over 1,000 jobs that are generated by the company’s Australian supply chain.
Of the contractors employed by the major services provider, over 90 per cent are completely Australian owned.
Jim McDowell, chief executive of the Nova Group, welcomed the opportunity to support Australia’s sovereign capability and the Australian Defence Force.
“Nova Systems is committed to creating a pipeline of work for our sovereign supply chain to deliver tailored solutions to the Australian Army to ensure they can respond to the national security agenda as it continues to evolve,” McDowell said.
“We have opportunities available to help support to the Capability and Acquisition Sustainment Group’s Explosive Material Branch to look after weapons and ordnance certification to ensure the Australian Defence Force’s ordnance are safe and suitable for service.
“We are also working with the Land Systems Division to provide engineers, project managers, test and evaluation, and systems assurance specialists to ensure new capabilities being sought by the Australian Army are safe and effective across the whole acquisition life cycle.
“We also partner with industry and have joined with Safran and BAE Systems Australian to form Team SABRE in response to the LAND 125 Phase 4 Integrated Soldier System Program.
“There is significant scope to provide product and professional services as part of Team SABRE to support the warfighter.”
