Eight leading Australian companies have banded together in a new “alliance” to boost the country’s defence industry space capability, dubbed the Australian Defence Industry Space Capability Alliance (ADISCA).
The group includes pioneers such as Gilmour Space Technologies, Nova Systems, Southern Launch, DEWC Systems, Inovor Technologies, Neumann Space, REDARC Defence Systems and Space Machines Company.
The move creates a “genuine sovereign response” to the Commonwealth’s call for Australian industry to provide its “expertise” to further its defence and national interests in space, according to Ian Spencer, chief executive officer at DEWC Systems.
The ASIDCA was unveiled at the 13th Australian Space Forum on Thursday in Adelaide.
