Adelaide based software technology company Consunet Pty Ltd (Consunet) is pleased to announce its successful delivery of Stage 1 of the next generation Electromagnetic Battle Management (EMBM) solution under Australian Defence project JP9321 EMBM.
Consunet won the Australian Defence JP9321 EMBM contract in fiscal year 2022 from a competitive field of Prime System Integrators. This capability allows users to make timely decisions on Electromagnetic Spectrum (EMS) use and prioritisation to achieve command objectives. Stage 1 delivered the initial EMS operations capability underpinned by an open architecture and a software capability factory to continuously evolve and integrate capabilities into the future. Stage 2 capability delivery is ongoing through the continuous development of this advanced information system using the Agile delivery strategy.

The delivery success showcases Consunet and our Australian Industry Capability supply chain ability to rapidly deliver SDIP 6 outcomes’, said Kabacinski.
