(September 24, 2008) -- Thales has signed a contract with the Defence Materiel Organisation (DMO) to expand training and upskilling in the company's electronic warfare capability. The DMO is providing $950,000 of extra funding under Skilling Australia's Defence Industry (SADI) program. This new commitment increases the combined Thales.
SADI contract value commitment to more than $21 million over a three-year period. The SADI initiative shares the responsibility for skills growth and development between industry and government, and represents a win-win solution for both the defence of Australia and the Australian defence industry.
Thales is a global leader in electronic warfare, and this SADI initiative will accelerate the establishment of a substantial capability within Thales Australia. A significant part of the skilling program will be delivered through Thales University, the company's in-house learning and development centre of excellence.
Thales Australia's managing director, Chris Jenkins, said: "This is a significant Defence commitment and is a tangible endorsement of Thales's strategy to establish a substantial electronic warfare capability in Australia."
"The agreement will improve Australia's self-reliance in electronic warfare, and provide Defence and industry with a base to better service the Asia-Pacific region. "We greatly appreciate the DMO's valuable contribution in this crucial area."
