Consunet

What we do

Consunet is an Australian enterprise recognised and trusted by the Australian Defence and Intelligence sector for our capabilities in Electromagnetic Warfare, Spectrum Management, Cyber & DevSecOps and Logistics.

Trust is at the heart of all we do

Headquartered in a secure facility in the Adelaide CBD, we have operations in Adelaide, Brisbane and London, where our 130-plus Artificial Intelligence (AI) and cyber specialists design, develop, deploy and support high-assurance software solutions that deliver enduring benefits to our customers.

Consunet's objective is to create new, disruptive opportunities for wireless communications and autonomous systems. We lead with the vision to build the cyber and spectrum security future.

Capability Statement

Our Story

From modest beginnings in 2000 and a decade of building domain expertise with a small but credible team of specialist engineers, Consunet won its ﬁrst million-dollar contract in 2010 to transition a logistics software prototype into production capability. We started delivering Electronic Warfare capabilities for fast jets in 2015. At this point, Consunet was still only 9 people. In 2016 we responded to changes in Commonwealth R&D policy and invested in technology innovation to fuel growth.

In 2018, Consunet won the Trusted Autonomous Systems Defence Cooperative Research Centre (TAS DCRC) project to create Distributed aUtonomous Spectrum managemenT (DUST) technology. This multi-year project gave us the conﬁdence to continue investment, and our growth story took ﬂight. Staff numbers grew from 26 in 2018 to over 130 in 2024.

Consunet subsequently won Australia's Electromagnetic Battle Management delivery and sustainment project, from a field that included six multinational primes. We were no longer a small business.

This is our foundation for building an Australian Defence prime capable of global relevance.
