EPE Oceania

Veteran-owned EPE Oceania Pty Ltd has been awarded funding under the Sovereign Industry Development Fund to establish integrated drone manufacturing capability across three locations in Brisbane, in partnership with Grabba Technologies Pty Ltd.

The project will produce small drones for defence and security use, with upgraded facilities supporting the design, build and testing of systems and components enabled by digital infrastructure for scalable manufacturing.

The initiative will strengthen Queensland’s defence industrial base, address a critical gap in Australia’s ability to build and support small drone systems locally, and enhance local supply chain and export opportunities while building sovereign capability.
