Business
Dr James Palmer and Simon Palumbo are co-founders of Silentium Defence Pty Ltd, a fast-growing, South Australian SME providing unique passive radar technology to Defence and civilian customers. James and Simon founded the company in 2017 when they spun out of Defence Science and Technology Group having completed ON Accelerate3. Since then they have gone from strength to strength - opening their own R&D facility, winning contracts and growing the business from two to 16 full-time, part-time and contract staff. They have an extremely strong founding team and are an excellent example of how to successfully bootstrap a start-up.
