Project OWLS, DEWC Systems and J3Seven’s latest commercial collaboration, will address mission critical challenges that our warfighters encounter in the battlefield.
The veteran-owned companies, will leverage their collective experience and expertise to solutions that will improve soldiers’ situational awareness, increasing their survivability while fulfilling their mission.
DEWC Systems have bolstered their capabilities in sensor miniaturisation and communications technologies in recent years. The South Australian company have been developing their Miniaturised Orbital Electronic Sensor System (MOESS) capabilities and successfully launched the DEWC-SP1, the first micro sensor package on board a rocket headed to space from Australian soil.
To support J3Seven’s personal CBRNE devices, DEWC will leverage its expertise in electronic warfare and the successes of the MOESS and DEWC-SP1 projects for the Project OWLS partnership.
As the first Australian company to launch a payload on a space-capable rocket, DEWC Systems helped lead Australia into the Space 4.0 era, reinforcing its strong reputation for innovation.
"We are excited to be able combine these skills with J3Seven's first-hand battlefield experience to deliver this important capability," Ian Spencer DEWC Systems CEO said.
Veteran-owned and operated company, J3Seven is internationally regarded as an innovative systems integrator after developing the world’s first mobile radiation detection system, RANID.
RANID allows operators, commanders and scientists real-time, quantifiable spectral analysis anywhere in the world with reach-back to Australian laboratories. Gareth Molnar, CEO of J3Seven, said the collaboration with the DEWC Systems will keep Australian soldiers future ready.
“Utilising our soldier system expertise and our real-world battlefield experience, J3Seven will develop the technical solution and protype for Project OWLS,” Molnar said.
"Intrinsic to developing this unique and sovereign capability will be connecting it into the land-space domain.”
J3Seven provides world-class protection through cutting-edge CBRNE (chemical, biological, radioactive, nuclear and explosion) equipment and exploitation products. The Queensland-based, veteran-owned and operated company provides training and maintenance to the Defence, national security and first responders.
Together, utilising research and development in laboratory and simulation environments, J3Seven and DEWC Systems intend to create an industry leading device that better supports soldiers and first responders whilst increasing their survivability.
