Big Projects

From fighter aircraft and navy ships to soldier systems, the Defence Materiel Organisation (DMO) is Australia’s largest program management, logistics, procurement and engineering services organisation. With over 230 major and 100 minor projects, the variety of job opportunities is limitless. DMO has around 7,000 people employed in more than 70 locations throughout Australia and overseas. We are responsible for acquiring and sustaining the equipment used by the Australian Defence Force (ADF).

Examples:

• Thales Australia have been contracted to manufacture the Infantry Mobility Vehicle (IMV) (known as Bushmaster) for the Army.
  See: LAND 116 - Bushranger

• Australian Aerospace in Brisbane is manufacturing the Tiger Armed Reconnaissance Helicopter
  See: AIR 87 - Armed Reconnaissance Helicopters

Big Budgets

If the DMO were a private company it would be one of the largest on the Australian Stock Exchange. It has an annual budget of over $10.4 billion, and will manage over $110 billion worth of acquisition and sustainment business over the next 10 years. This includes Navy ships and submarines, fighter aircraft, Army combat vehicles and electronic warfare systems.
