Innovation at EPE
Complex problem?
We have ground-breaking solutions.
EPE Innovation is an integration and development hub creating the next generation of defence, personal protection, and space technology.
At our core – EPE’s multi-disciplinary team including robotics, systems, and software engineers, who work from a bespoke mechatronics and integration facility within our headquarters. Our nearby MILTECS facility provides a state-of-the-art testing ground to validate and progress prototypes, fast-tracking commercialisation.
EPE Innovation partners with industry, government, defence, law enforcement, and academia to turn emerging technologies into practical solutions that can change and save lives.
Our process
We work with our partners to identify end user capability gaps and issues – digging below the surface to find the root causes and provide advice and solutions.
Our team contains trusted subject matter experts across the defence, space and personal protection spheres, and hold appropriate security clearances to enable discussion of sensitive information.

Problem solving
Our extensive in-house capabilities are matched with strategic relationships we hold to advance innovation:
- Relationships with academia, universities, and research labs to advise on research and novel technology inputs.
- Relationships with world-leading original equipment manufacturers, allowing us access to the latest technologies and expertise for creating prototypes and end products.
- Relationships with end users to maintain operational context and ensure our solutions are up-to-date, intuitive, and created with the real world in mind.
Delivery and commercialisation
EPE takes ideas from concept through to the end user, specialising in the rapid development of prototype technologies through design, build and test cycles. This supports the integration of systems, increasing and accelerating impact.
Our Innovation team links seamlessly with EPE’s well-established commercial pathway, providing partners with the opportunity of working with one organisation from idea to market.
Robotics and Autonomous Systems. This includes platform
development and integration of various sensor technologies
to provide a wide range of effects. EPE’s innovation spans
a wide spectrum of sensors (including CBRNe) and supports
our mission to enable and protect in hazardous environments.
Autonomous
Systems
protection in the form of our Broad Spectrum Respiratory Canister (BSRC).
We are partnering with CSIRO to create a solution that increases break
through times of harmful chemicals, utilising Metal Organic Frameworks (MOF),
ultimately providing increased protection in various form factors.
Protection
Space Agency’s Roo-ver Mission. Our engineers, working as part of
the ELO2 consortium, are designing and building a semi-autonomous
lunar rover that will contribute to a NASA Artemis Mission later this decade.
We partner with Research Institutions and Industry
