Description
A Trusted Partner in Information Warfare Solutions - Proven Expertise in Defence Innovation
ADT brings over a decade of experience in the development and application of cutting-edge information warfare solutions for the Australian Defence Force (ADF). Our capabilities span software and hardware engineering, radio frequency (RF) design, and systems integration—particularly in the development and delivery of data communications, radar, and electronic warfare systems.
Track Record of Successful Delivery
For more than ten years, ADT has provided expert consultancy, design, and product delivery services to the Commonwealth. We have consistently met specific ADF requirements, delivering projects on time and in full. This demonstrates not only our deep familiarity with Defence contracting but also our reliability and technical excellence.
Technical Excellence and Talent
ADT’s strength lies in its highly qualified team, including several PhD holders and recognised experts in Electronics, RF and Systems engineering and design. This depth of expertise enables us to deliver sophisticated, high-performance solutions tailored to Defence needs.
Commitment to Sovereign Capability
ADT is deeply committed to enhancing Australia’s sovereign defence capability. Our contributions include:
- Workforce Growth – A 300% increase in staff over three years, with active recruitment of local and interstate talent
- Research and Development – Internal research initiatives led by academically trained staff, particularly in RF and antenna technologies
- Support for Apprenticeships – Tangible investment in training and development through financial and time-based support
- STEM Engagement – A self-funded annual STEM program for local secondary students, promoting careers in RF engineering and electronics
- Local Supply Chain Engagement – Partnerships with Australian PCB manufacturers and suppliers, including sourcing raw materials like aluminium domestically
World-Class Facilities
ADT is expanding its operational footprint with a new 1,200 sqm, two-storey facility in Fyshwick. Scheduled for refurbishment in Q4 2025, the facility will support the design and delivery of advanced, secure, and sovereign technology solutions and include:
- Advanced manufacturing
- On-site anechoic chamber
- Dedicated R&D, warehousing, production, and testing areas
Resilient Supply Chain and Financial Strength
ADT maintains a robust and predominantly Australian supply chain, with over 90% of components sourced locally. We have also established strong relationships with international suppliers to ensure continuity and resilience.
As a self-funded private company, ADT is financially stable and strategically invests in capital expenditure to scale in line with demand. This ensures our in-house capabilities remain aligned with our commercial and Defence commitments.
