Introducing the Micro-Prime Collection of Companies

Written by Sandra Simpson | Sep 6, 2024 4:43:25 AM

In an innovative move set to transform the Australian defence industry landscape, Citadel Secure started a collaborative initiative known as Micro-Prime.

“This unique partnership model brings together a diverse group of specialist manufacturers and service providers, creating a wholly Australian mechanism for major Land project manufacture, support, and sustainment,” said David Searles, one of Citadel Secure’s Directors and the Founder of this collaborative initiative.

The Micro-Prime concept was a great success at Indo-Pacific 2023. For the upcoming Land Forces 2024 exhibition in Melbourne, Citadel Secure has further developed the concept to encompass complete defence program support.
