In this episode of the Defence Connect Spotlight podcast, Allan Dundas, chief executive officer of DEWC Services, joins host Liam Garman to discuss how the company is helping to revolutionise the Australian Defence Force’s C4ISREW capabilities.
- Dundas begins the podcast defining why C4ISREW (Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance, Electronic Warfare) is critical to enabling the military success of the ADF across all warfighting domains, and how militaries must secure freedom of manoeuvre in the electromagnetic spectrum.
- The pair then unpack how DEWC Services is building this capability within the ADF, employing world-leading engineers, scientists, and academics to train the warfighter.
- They wrap up the podcast examining how DEWC Services is overcoming Australia’s skilled labour shortages, including how to attract the best talent, and how they are ensuring their current staff can overcome current and future C4ISREW challenges with advanced training programs including their graduate and mentorship programs.
