Serco New Zealand is pleased to announce a memorandum of understanding with New Zealand and veteran owned business JMC Technologies, delivering SME knowledge and technology into Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand through bespoke solutions to support enhanced training outcomes for the Navy.
Partnerships across the defence sector play a critical role in shaping the future of capability. This collaboration between Serco and JMC is strengthening how secure, automated and technology-enabled systems can support defence training and operations.
JMC’s software capability continues to demonstrate its value in operational environments. Most recently, its solutions have been renewed under Serco's Navy Synthetic Warfare Training contract in Australia, supporting maritime warfare training for the Royal Australian Navy at HMAS Watson and HMAS Stirling. This endorsement reinforces the role of trusted, high-performing technology in enabling realistic, adaptive and effective defence training at scale.
JMC is a trusted leader in digital maritime training solutions with customers in the Asia Pacific and North America. This innovative Kiwi business' solutions combine automation, intelligent simulation and real-time performance data to help navies train more efficiently, increasing throughput, freeing up instructors for higher-value coaching, and delivering measurable improvements in learner outcomes.
Through this partnership, we are exploring how JMC's systems capability can support secure training ecosystems, where data integrity, automation and operational assurance are embedded into how training is delivered and evaluated for the New Zealand Defence Force.
“The experience JMC brings is a real strength to our partnership here in New Zealand. By working together, we're creating a foundation to grow defence training capability through trusted, technology-enabled solutions,” according to Serco New Zealand training services contract manager Rewi Thompson.
”As defence environments become increasingly connected and data-driven, training must evolve alongside them.
“This includes the ability to simulate complex operational scenarios while ensuring systems are secure, auditable and optimised for performance.”
In Aotearoa New Zealand, our partnership creates opportunity to integrate Serco's global capabilities with JMC's strengths by supporting a future where training environments are not only immersive but also secure by design.
This technology that is driven by real-time insights brings together industry expertise, innovation and proven solutions to support evolving operational needs.
Serco is proud to partner with NZ businesses, combining strengths and enabling sustainable scaling. If this story resonated with you, we invite you to like, comment and repost.
