EPE announced recently that the Australian Department of Defence’s Rapid Prototyping, Development and Evaluation (RPDE) organisation had selected EPE to be an Associate of the RPDE Program.
Associates are generally academic institutions or specialist Australian companies with a relevant R & D Program. The common selection criterion to join the program is that the organisation has to demonstrate it has skills and expertise in one or more niche capability areas.
RPDE was established as a unique collaboration between Defence, industry and academia, bringing together the best and brightest from across the defence industry spectrum.
Their aim is to utilise the formidable results that are possible when combining these forces in a neutral, non-competitive environment, knowing that intellectual property and commercial interests are protected.
On Friday 6th December, EPE attended a special event in Canberra for the signing of the Standing Offer and the Joining Deed by new Associates.
