WASP enables operators to switch seamlessly between connected systems while maintaining trusted separation between security domains. Built on ADT's patent-pending security architecture and independently Common Criteria certified, it is available now as a 2-port variant, with 3- and 4-port variants coming soon — designed, built and manufactured in Australia.

ADT's secure KVM technology lets operators work across multiple security domains from a single keyboard, video and mouse set-up while maintaining trusted separation. The ruggedised variant previewing at Land Forces extends that capability into vehicles, deployed command posts and forward headquarters — sovereign, deployable, and built in Australia.

The week included a reception hosted by HRH The Princess Royal at St James's Palace, the inaugural Certa Cito Foundation Roundtable with Australian and UK defence industry at Australia House, and a Wreath Laying Ceremony at the Australian War Memorial, Hyde Park Corner.

The challenge today is not inventing technology, but adapting it faster than the threat adapts. In a session presented by Toby Jones, the discussion ranged across adaptation superiority, designing systems for change, agile assurance, and the people and specialist SMEs who sustain the edge.

On the stand, ADT showcased its Common Criteria–certified WASP secure KVM and HORNET ruggedised network switching alongside its electronic warfare, communications and surveillance capabilities — sovereign technology designed and built in Australia, just across town in Fyshwick.

Showcasing its Common Criteria–certified WASP secure KVM to a global aerospace and defence audience, ADT's appearance under the Australia banner placed sovereign Australian innovation on the world stage and welcomed senior Royal Australian Air Force and Team Defence Australia representatives to the stand.

Evaluated by Teron Labs under the Australasian Information Security Evaluation Program (AISEP), WASP's certification is recognised internationally under the Common Criteria Recognition Arrangement, giving Defence and government buyers independent assurance of its trusted-separation claims.

The contracts provide critical financial support for ADT to continue its groundbreaking work in electronic warfare development while supporting more than 50 local jobs in the Canberra region.

Minister for Defence Industry and Capability Delivery, Pat Conroy stated: "I look forward to seeing the cutting-edge capabilities ADT and Penten will deliver for the Australian Defence Force and AUKUS to secure a competitive advantage and deter potential threats to regional security."

The 12-month contracts follow successful participation in stage one co-development workshops and will support the development and demonstration of electronic warfare prototypes that address Australian Defence Force operating requirements.

"These capabilities allow joint AUKUS forces to generate superior situational awareness and communicate effectively across all domains in contested environments." - Department of Defence
