C4 EDGE (Evolutionary Digital Ground Environment), a defence industry cooperative of C4 SMEs leading a communications program scoping the demonstration of a sovereign land battlegroup and below communications environment for the Australian Army, has added NSW-based GME to the team.

Headquartered in Winston Hills, GME specialises in the design, development, prototype, test manufacturing, certification and support through the life of RF communication systems, including encrypted radios and emergency beacons using in-house Australian engineers, expertise and production line.

The C4 EDGE program will leverage internationally agreed open standards to grow and demonstrate Australian C4 (command control communications and computers) industry capacity and ability to deliver a battlegroup and below C4 capability demonstration.

Ultimately, by the end of 2021 the program says it will have delivered a proof of concept demonstration that shows the capability of Australian industry to further develop a protected, integrated and supportable sovereign system: one that delivers agile and resilient C2 functionality to meet the flexible, scalable and interoperability needs of a battlegroup operating independently or with partners.

“GME are very excited to participate in this once in a life time Australian industry opportunity. We are very proud to be a part of this team and are looking forward to delivering value to the Army in conjunction with other likeminded Australian organisations via EOS and the C4 EDGE program," Warwick Clancy, CEO, GME said.

GME joins ACT partners 1LM, 3ME, Insitec, Kord Defence, Outlander Solutions, Penten, SkyKraft, and XTEC announced at last Thursday’s Canberra launch.
