Test and Evaluation
The criticality of Test and Evaluation
Test and Evaluation (T&E) is an unseen and forgotten part of our everyday existence. It touches every part of your day - from the chair you sit on, to the food you eat, to the computer and phone you use. Every item, system and platform we use undergoes a rigorous test process to ensure it’s safe and reliable and fit for purpose. T&E, Certification and Systems Assurance has been identified by The Australian Government as Sovereign Defence Industrial Priority – a capability that is operationally critical to the Australian Defence Force’s mission.

The sovereign smarts behind the solution.

We test what matters, ensuring the safety of our service men and women.

When it comes to the Australian Defence Force, every platform from combat aircraft, submarines and armoured vehicles and warships must be Tested & Evaluated, Certified and Systems Assured from concept all the way to disposal.

Given the importance of their mission, they need the most reliable systems that we can provide.

The result is the delivery of safe, fit for purpose capability that delivers the best operation outcomes for our service men and women and keeps Australians safe and secure.

The sovereign smarts behind the solution.

For more than two decades we have been a sovereign leader in Test & Evaluation, Certification and Systems Assurance. Nova Systems was founded on delivering these critical capabilities to the Australian Defence Force.

Today, the smooth provision of these capabilities across land, sea, air, cyber and space remains our reason for being.

There are few recent complex major projects of national safety and security we haven’t been involved in.

We share the Commonwealth’s vision for an enhanced national approach to delivering Defence Test & Evaluation, Certification and Systems Assurance.

As a sovereign leader, we uniquely understand how to grow, strengthen, and sustain this capability as a critical enabler of the full spectrum of Australian Defence Form capability, from single systems to the most complex of joint force and coalition operations with key partners and allies
