Silentium Defence stands among a select group of Australian companies chosen to deliver over $1.3 billion in contracts over the next 10 years, aimed at strengthening counter-drone capabilities for the ADF.
By securing this contract, the South Australian born organisation has further demonstrated the growing demand for their passive radar technology to counter emerging threats. Under the contract, Silentium Defence will deliver their M8 system designed to detect drones, aircrafts and vehicles, including “dark” objects – those that don’t emit a radio signal – without revealing its location.
These systems are lightweight, rapid to deploy, and built for any environment, delivering real-time situational awareness across land, air, and the littoral – redefining how modern defence forces see without being seen.
“LAND 156 represents an exciting step forward for Australia’s defence capability – a chance for local innovators to deliver world-class counter-drone systems for the ADF and to build on the nation’s growing investment in sovereign disruptive technology,” said Berni White, Head of Future Business.
“Being selected as one of the initial vendors in this program reinforces the growing demand for our passive radar technology – a proven capability that is increasingly being sought after internationally. The delivery of this M8 system will mark an important milestone, reflecting Defence’s confidence in our technology, which is unmatched in its class”.
Silentium Defence’s involvement in this procurement forms part of the Commonwealth’s broader effort to strengthen Australia’s counter-drone capability, helping ensure the nation stays ahead in the rapidly evolving landscape of modern warfare.
