EPE. Trusted To Protect

Australia, we're going to the moon! Ed Husic MP, Minister for Industry, Science and Resources has announced the ELO2 Consortium co-led by EPE and Lunar Outpost Oceania has been selected by the Australian Space Agency to build Australia’s first lunar rover. The $42 million project, funded by the Australian Government through the Australian Space Agency, will see the ELO2 Consortium design, construct, and operate the Australian-made rover, “Roo-ver,” on the lunar surface. “This is a landmark moment for Australia and for EPE,” said Warwick Penrose, CEO of EPE Oceania. “We are immensely proud to co-lead this history-making mission with Lunar Outpost Oceania, and our incredible world-leading research and industry partners from across the nation. Together, we will not only deliver Roo-ver but also pave the way for translating cutting-edge space technologies into transformative capabilities for Defence, national security, and other industries.” Thanks to all our great consortium partners: EPE.

Our Training Manager, David McDonald, has been working closely with 6ESR and 20EOD SQN to deliver the Royal Australian Engineers Explosive Ordnance Disposal Module 3 Course. Through realistic and relevant scenario and training aid design, construction, and delivery, Dave ensures that training is as effective as it is lifelike—because realistic training saves lives.   #EOD #AustralianArmy #DefenceTraining 

We're honoured to be acknowledged by the Australian Government Department of Veterans' Affairs Veteran Employment Program as a Veteran Employer of Choice. This recognition holds special significance for EPE as our veterans have been the cornerstone of our growth. #VeteranEmployment #Veteran Warwick Penrose

We love to inspire the next generation of mechatronics engineers, Genevieve is a 4th year QUT (Queensland University of Technology) Mechatronics and Medical Engineering Student, and Dean's Scholar, and has recently completed her STEM internship at EPE. "Hi, I’m Genevieve Hughes, and I've been working as an intern with EPE in 2024. I've had the privilege to learn new skills vital in the robotics industry, work in a professional R&D setting, work closely with my supervisors, and get hands on experience testing my work in the field. I've been able to put the skills I've learned in my Mechatronics Engineering Degree at QUT into practice as I've written software and developed 3D designs to complete my project. I've especially benefited from learning ROS2 and how to interface with cameras and integrate them onto a robotic platform. I've also had the opportunity to use soft skills that I learnt as President of the QUT Robotics club, as I communicated with fellow interns and my supervisors about my project, took on board feedback, and implemented it to improve my work. I've been so grateful to work at EPE, where I've been supported, encouraged and challenged to develop my skillset and my career."

The ELO₂ Consortium is at i-SAIRAS 2024, sharing our Australian-made lunar rover prototypes with the next generation of space explorers! Engaging with school students at the event, we’re sparking curiosity and highlighting STEM careers and pathways, showcasing how Australian innovation is shaping the future of space exploration. Our rovers, developed under the Australian Space Agency’s Trailblazer Program, represent the power of collaboration between government, academia, and industry, inspiring young minds to dream big. #GDayMoon #iSAIRAS #STEMCareers #MoonToMars EPE.

What's so good about partnering with a company like 908 Devices? Working with a team committed to developing technologies that enable those who protect us to rapidly identify threats and make next-step decisions. We're keen to show highlights from the recent 908 Devices 2024 APAC Distributor Meeting in Tokyo! As 908 Devices' FTIR Partner in Australia, New Zealand, and for specific projects in Indonesia, EPE benefited immensely from the opportunity to personally connect with the 908 team and receive technical and commercial training from their top experts. Our Director of EPE International, Iain Swan, attended and was honoured to accept two awards on behalf of EPE. The first for ‘Best Individual FTIR Partner’ was presented to David Byrne in recognition of his significant contributions to the development of RedWave products between 2021 and 2024. The second award for ‘FTIR Partner who embodies Partnership’, was presented to the EPE Group for our achievements in sales, contributions to FTIR product development, marketing, and outstanding technical support from our Maintenance team. Special thanks to Duane Sword for acknowledging our collective efforts. We are grateful for this recognition and for the strong partnership we’ve built with 908 Devices.
