Systecon attending Hunter Defence Conference 2026
Systecon will be attending the Hunter Defence Conference 2026 in the Hunter Valley, NSW, connecting with defence, industry, and government leaders as they explore how to build and strengthen their defence strategy. Having attended in 2025, we're pleased to return to Australia's premier regional defence event, joining senior representatives from all Defence Services and major Defence Primes.
Our Australian team will be onsite ready to discuss how analysis-driven Life Cycle Management can support readiness, sustainment and capability decisions across air, land and naval programmes. Connect with our team to discuss how Opus Suite can support your organisation's capability and readiness goals.
Focus – Building Your Defence Strategy
As Australian organisations sharpen how they engage with Defence, having the analytical tools to make confident, well-supported decisions matters more than ever. Systecon's Opus Suite software and expert services support defence organisations and industry partners with analysis-driven life cycle management capabilities that enhance:
- Rapid simulation of operational and mission performance over time
- Optimised sustainment planning and logistics support
