  • A big thanks to the Saab Global Export Opportunity team for supporting Silentium's recent participation in their ‘Introduction to Combat Systems Engineering’ course. Delivered by Saab Australia’s team of Senior Engineers and Combat Systems Engineering experts, the course was designed to increase understanding of the combat systems engineering process and explore, at an introductory level, how to engineer a combat system in support of the war fighter.   We were lucky enough to put five of our team through the program, offered for the first time to external participants.   All passed with flying colours (and some serious cramming 🤓) which means that they now bring increased understanding of the systems integrator role back into the business and position Silentium to provide even greater support for integration of our sensors into combat systems across multiple domains. #skills #training #defenceindustry #defense #defensetech

  • One of our company values is ‘we deliver as a team’. It was a pleasure to host the Hon. Pat Conroy, Minister for Defence Industry and Capability Delivery at our Adelaide Head Quarters recently to demonstrate just what that looks like in practice. Our MAVERICK passive radars have a unique and critical role to play in securing our airspace, from ground to low-earth-orbit, from increasingly complex and evolving threats. We are acutely aware of that as a team, and stand ready to deliver for Australia and its allies to achieve the mission. Situational Awareness. Anytime, anywhere to protect what matters. #passiveradar #missiondriven #defense #defensetechnology #defenceindustry Defence Australia Australian Trade and Investment Commission (Austrade) James Palmer Simon Palumbo Kim Scott

    One of the best parts of the job?   Backing Australian innovators and home-grown ingenuity.   From the ocean floor to outer space, Australian companies are developing and manufacturing world-class defence technologies right here at home.   The kind of tech that gives our Australian Defence Force the cutting-edge capabilities they need to keep us all safe.   And for a country our size - that's critical.   Because by backing in home-grown technology and science, we can build our asymmetric advantage.   From Fleet Space Technologies leading the way on space-enabled technology, to Silentium Defence as a global leader in passive surveillance, to Codan Limited changing the game when it comes to secure communications.   These are Australian success stories whose ideas have gone from proposals to prototypes to production – while creating highly-skilled advanced engineering and manufacturing jobs every step of the way.   From seeing these companies up close, I know we've got the know-how, the resources and the workers to build a defence future right here in Australia.   And that’s what drives me every day as the Minister for Defence Industry and Capability Delivery.

  • How does Passive Radar work? We thought we’d break it down for you. Passive radar is a ‘receive only’ technology that doesn’t need its own transmitter or a target to transmit. Instead, it uses Illuminators of Opportunity—existing energy sources like TV or radio signals in the environment —to detect targets. 🎯 Signals bounce off objects (like planes or drones) and return to our passive radar receiver, tracking where the target is and how far away. Why does it matter? It’s stealthy, energy-efficient, and allows you to see without being seen—perfect for scenarios where staying under the radar (pun intended) is the ultimate goal. #passiveradar

  • What Makes Passive Radar So Powerful? Passive radar is a game-changer in modern surveillance. Unlike active radar, passive radar uses existing radio frequency energy in the environment as its transmission source (think digital TV signals as an example). By using these existing radio frequency signals, passive radar offers persistent surveillance across the entire field of view without compromising its own position. Curious to know how passive radar flips the script on traditional active radar systems? Swipe through our carousel for the inside scoop on how this technology is changing the game. #passiveradar #activeradar #silentsurveillance

  • Huge kudos to our team for taking part in Movember again this year!🙌 All efforts (mos and mullets, long and short) support men’s mental health — a cause close to our hearts and we’re proud to have raised more than $4000 in 2024. While we’re slowly seeing a return to ‘faces-as-usual’, a special shoutout goes to Ghosh, who took home the title of Most Magnificent Mo! 🥇 #movember #mentalhealth #mensmentalhealth
