About
Information Warfare is increasingly transcending traditional battlespaces to influence and exploit people and communities.
Australia’s Defence Force must be prepared to meet this and other contemporary challenges in collaboration with a skilled and innovative Australian Defence Industry.
The Australian Information Warfare Alliance (AIWA) is Australia’s only sovereign consortium that provides Defence with a complete end-to-end solution within the Information Warfare domain, including expert support, training services and innovative capability solutions.
Founded in 2023 by four veteran-owned and operated Australian companies with
IW capability - CyberOps, DEWC Services, Elysium EPL and the School of Information Operations (SOIO) – AIWA provides services that support the entire capability lifecycle for Information Warfare.
Our Members
As a collective, the AIWA provides the Australian Defence Industry, the Australian Defence Force and its partners with completely sovereign professional services, training, product development, research and development, manufacturing, and sustainment solutions that span the Defence capability life cycle (pertaining to Information Warfare).
Individually, each AIWA company brings existing collaborative relationships with other entities to the table, allowing the Alliance to adapt and evolve to the changing needs of both the Commonwealth and State Governments.
