C4i signs $2.2m PIC grant with defence force
C4i has signed a $2.2m Priority Industry Capability (PIC) grant with the Australian Department of Defence Materiel Organisation (DMO).
The signing of this grant coincided with another award for the company’s SwitchplusIP communication system, for an advanced IP-based communication system to be delivered to an international customer as part of an air surveillance system, from an American defence contractor.
The minister for the DMO, Jason Clare, said, “This is an investment in cutting-edge defence technologies developed here in Australia. It involves defence working directly with some of Australia’s most innovative defence companies to develop technologies for the Australian Defence Force.”
Over the next 18 months, C4i will develop capabilities core to both its product and key defence interests.
“C4i has invested over 20% of its revenues in research and development activities over the last two years and this grant allows us to continue the high level of investment to maintain our current competitive edge both locally and internationally,” said Peter Harrison, C4i’s managing director.
