SPOTLIGHT: Building a stronger RAN with Gareth Evans, managing director of Rohde & Schwarz Australia

Welcome to the inaugural Defence Connect Spotlight podcast.

Welcome to the inaugural Defence Connect Spotlight podcast.

 

 
 

In this series, we aim to shine a spotlight on those businesses and individuals who are building a stronger and more resilient defence industry and ADF.

In this episode, Gareth Evans, managing director of Rohde & Schwarz joins host and editor of Defence Connect Liam Garman to discuss the company's exciting new partnership with BAE Systems Australia and their role as the communications systems integrator of choice for the Royal Australian Navy.

The pair begin by discussing Rohde & Schwarz's 40 year pedigree in communications systems including some of their historical highlights, before diving into their new mission to design and deliver communications systems for the Hunter Class frigate.

The podcast then continues with an analysis into the work which the company is doing in other military domains, as well as in the civilian world.

The pair wrap up by discussing how Rohde & Schwarz is building their sovereign industry capability including their AIC base in the Hunter, and how they are recruiting to support future and current projects in support of the ADF.
