Consunet is the prime contractor delivering Australia's next-generation Electromagnetic Battle Management (EMBM) solution, providing Australia's Defence Force with the knowledge and tools necessary to make appropriate decisions about Electromagnetic Spectrum (EMS) use and prioritisation.
Today’s mission success depends on assured access to the Electromagnetic Spectrum (EMS), a critical and finite resource that is becoming increasingly contested and congested. Rapid technological advances make it more difficult to deny and degrade adversary EMS use while ensuring uninterrupted access for friendly forces. Challenges such as emitter conflicts, signal anomalies, and spectrum saturation limit effective manoeuvre within the Electromagnetic Operating Environment (EMOE), impacting decision speed and operational effectiveness.
Here at Consunet, we specialises in high-assurance Electronic Warfare (EW) and Information Warfare (IW) solutions that harness advanced sensor and effector systems, signal detection and exploitation, and enterprise data fusion. Our integrated approach to information battlespace management and multi-system integration delivers dynamic EW capabilities, enabling more efficient spectrum use and giving Defence forces the operational edge they need in complex electromagnetic environments.
Capability StatementNear-real-time signal data and geospatial technologies enable visualisation and a comprehensive situational understanding of the Electromagnetic Operating Environment (EMOE).
EW capabilities model, plan and predict spectrum utilisation and dynamically adapt to the changing EMS environment, enabling resilience and ensuring network survivability.
Using both traditional and contemporary Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques, signals are extracted and exploited to provide information and insights relating to emitters.
High-assurance EMS monitoring, ongoing support and innovative thinking are used to deliver valuable solutions to complex EMS challenges.

Discover how EMBM transforms electromagnetic operations with real-time planning, simulation, and control tools tailored for the modern battlespace.
We use Agile delivery methodologies to ensure Defence software capabilities can evolve and adapt at the speed of relevance—supporting the vision and intent of Australia’s Defence Electromagnetic Spectrum Strategy (DEMSS).
We work in close partnership with the Commonwealth and warfighters, enabling capability development as a continuous, iterative process. This allows us to evolve requirements, re-prioritise tasks, and create new solutions throughout the capability lifecycle.
Our Agile engineering approach helps us manage the risks often associated with traditional requirements-gathering methods. It also allows us to keep pace with rapid technological change—particularly in complex projects where the best technical solutions aren’t always known from the start.
Consunet's Support Organisation leverages Integrated Logistics Support (ILS) disciplines for logistics planning and management throughout all phases of the capability lifecycle.
ILS is an integral part of Consunet's domain expertise in sustainment and delivery of In-Service Defence capability. In-Service Support functions within the Support System Constituent Capabilities framework, tailoring essential and interrelated support elements that encompass people, products and processes.
Consunet's Support Organisation focuses on achieving high-value operational outcomes to the warfighter through value-for-money support capabilities that are both cost-effective and fit for purpose.
Our doctoral-level research team applies Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) to solve emerging EMS challenges. Consunet's engineering capabilities leverage international standards, Agile methodology best practice, industry leading tools and state-of-the-art, secure facilities to create a high-assurance, sovereign EW Capability Factory.
