Defence Prospecting

Key facts about the Defence ICT Market

The Department of Defence and Defence Materiel Organisation (DMO) together are the largest purchasers of ICT goods and services in Australia. Over the five years from 2006-07 to 2010-11 Defence and DMO expended over $7.5 billion on ICT purchases, more than the next three largest agencies (Centrelink, ATO and DIAC) combined. With the rapid implementation of Network Centric Warfare, the inherent level of ICT across all elements of Defence will continue to increase.

Electronic systems for projects delivering command, control, communications, networking and data management capabilities to the Australian Defence Force will provide significant opportunities for the Australian defence industry over the next decade, according to the 2011 Defence Capability Plan (DCP), released in September 2011. Intermedium’s detailed analysis of the $150billion plan found that 62% of the 134 DCP projects have either a high or very high ICT component.
