In this episode of the Defence Connect Podcast, chief
executive of Nova Systems Jim McDowell joins host Phil Tarrant
to unpack the latest at the leading Australian defence
company.
The pair begin by discussing
Nova Systems’ re-brand, which reflects
the company’s recent growth – employing over a
thousand people and turning over around $300 million in revenue –
across specialist systems engineering advisory and management
services, as well as advanced digital technology, software,
services and systems integration solutions.
The podcast then continues by analysing
Nova Systems’ core competency of test and evaluation and
the hopes to shift into operating as a horizontal prime,
and how it aims to play a larger role
in Australia’s defence ecosystem.
The pair wrap up by discussing Nova Systems’ approach to
building a sovereign defence industry, including building an
experienced workforce in Australia, and examine how
AUKUS will provide a unique opportunity for Australian businesses
to broaden their industrial bases in the UK and US.
