Silentium Defence has announced its first US sales of the Maverick M8 passive radar system, and establishment of a US entity.
“This is an exciting moment, not just for Silentium, but for Australia’s Defence export industry," said Dr James Palmer, CEO Silentium Defence.
“To see uniquely Australian developed capability in the hands of US customers is proof we can build true sovereign advantage locally, for global export and application.”
The Maverick M8 passive radar is Silentium’s lightweight, ruggedised, soldier portable system for land tactical surveillance, that can be used in a range of scenarios from counter-uncrewed aircraft system surveillance to force protection, and integrated air and missile defence.
"Our team recently demonstrated our Maverick passive radar systems to potential end-users at this year’s Exercise Trident Spectre in the United States. Off the back of strong interest at DSEI in London, we are now heading to AUSA in Washington to demonstrate the advantage our Maverick M8 delivers in tactical surveillance scenarios," said Simon Palumbo, co-founder and CTO of Silentium Defence.
“To have achieved this level of engagement with our systems, from the soldier portable variant right up to the Maverick S-series for surveillance of space in just over six years since we established Silentium, is proof of both solid product-market fit and confidence in Australian capability development.”
