BRISBANE – The Australian Department of Home Affairs, ANZCTC, has chosen 4C Strategies’ Exonaut Platform to power its Common Counter Terrorism Exercise Management Systems (CCTEMS).

The solution, which will be supplied together with Cubic Defence Australia, will streamline and improve exercise planning and management operations, delivering virtual, remote information management to enhance interoperability and flexibility in counter-terrorism training. It will be implemented as an Australia-New Zealand Counter-Terrorism Committee (ANZCTC) platform for exercise capabilities.   

Data-driven training and exercise management  

Exonaut is the world’s leading training, exercise, and readiness management platform. The data-driven, commercial-of-the-shelf (COTS) software lends itself to wide ranging use-cases across the Live, Virtual and Constructive spectrum. These range from training management, through discussion-based activities, functional simulations, and full-scale field exercises, to wargaming, high-value candidate selection, and counter-terrorism exercise management.  

Improved outcomes and lower costs  

Exonaut improves outcomes and performance progression by aligning structured training design with objectives, capturing auditable performance evidence, and consolidating real-time data into a single source of truth that drives readiness, lessons learned, and continuous improvement. Collaborative planning, data reuse, real-time task tracking, and automation reduce costs and workload. Trusted by NATO, allied forces, and the public sector worldwide, the platform increases readiness strengthens assurance, and delivers measurable results.   

Strengthening counter-terrorism capabilities  

Miles Macdonald, 4C Strategies Vice President APAC said “The CCTEMS will provide a safe-to-fail training environment that replicates realistic and high-pressure scenarios. This is an important step in strengthening the capability of the counter-terrorism network across Australia and New Zealand. We are proud that our software has been selected to underpin the CCTEMS and support such a vital mission – highlighting the versatility of the Exonaut platform in strengthening capability and assurance across the broader security and resilience sector.” 

Enhanced training effectiveness  

“Exonaut will support ANZCTC efficiencies by streamlining exercise planning and execution workflows, enabling data reuse, distributed collaboration, task management and automation of control functions, stated Mark Horn, Strategic Development for Cubic Defence Australia. “The CCTEMS will enable training for critical decision-making and real-time behavioural responses not gained through traditional desktop exercises. The capability will enhance training effectiveness by structuring training design around specific objectives, supporting objective evidence collection and objective-based evaluations, and by consolidating performance data for long-term analysis and improvement.”
