Systecon at South Australian Defence Summit 2026
The ADM South Australian Defence Summit brings together government, defence, industry, and academic leaders to explore the challenges and opportunities shaping South Australia's defence landscape, from naval shipbuilding and sovereign capability to emerging technologies and workforce development. As South Australia continues to anchor Australia's naval infrastructure investment and AUKUS submarine program, Systecon looks forward to engaging with organisations driving the future of maritime capability and sustainment.
Andrew Perkins will be onsite in Adelaide to connect with industry and government representatives and discuss how model-based analysis and decision support can support speed to capability and strengthen long-term capability outcomes. Prebook a meeting with Andrew to discuss how analysis-driven life cycle management can support increased readiness, resilience, and operational effectiveness across maritime and defence programs.
In a strategic environment where speed to capability is more important than ever, Systecon equips defence programs with the analytical tools to make faster, smarter decisions that improve mission readiness, system availability, performance, and cost-effective sustainment.
Through our Opus Suite software and expert services, we support defence organisations with analysis-driven lifecycle management capabilities that enhance:
- Rapid simulation of operational and mission performance over time
- Optimised sustainment planning and logistics support
- Cost-effective life cycle cost (LCC) strategies
- Informed design, acquisition, and capability planning decisions
- Performance-based logistics (PBL) and service contracting
- Integration with LSAR systems, including S3000L and MIL-STD-1388
Whether supporting new naval and maritime capabilities or optimising existing platforms, Opus Suite helps defence organisations reduce uncertainty, improve predictability, accelerate decision-making, and deliver outcomes - faster.
