C-E Solutions Recognised by Hunter Businesses
Taylors Beach systems engineering company Communications-Electronics Solutions Pty Ltd was recognised at the prestigious Hunter Business Awards 2009 for “Business Achievement”. General Manager Boris Novak remarked “After nearly 10 years of hard work, to be recognised as the best in the Hunter is extremely satisfying. We have proven that a small regional systems engineering business can compete with the corporates on capability, quality and reliability - and win. But not only that, we have shown that the unrivalled lifestyle we enjoy in Port Stephens can provide a real drawcard for the highest calibre professional staff. We feel that we are helping to establish a new employment base in the area, providing a real alternative to the traditional tourism-based industries.”

The awards night showcased 3 notable achievements by the company: - Successful Demonstration of Horus, an Airspace Management Decision Support System. Horus represents a product world first! A system that can instantaneously monitor all air or maritime traffic across the entire region and ‘flag’ unusual or suspicious behaviour, Horus has immediate applications for Defence and law enforcement in a range of scenarios. Perhaps its most obvious use would be to provide an early warning of the type of behaviour that presaged the ‘9/11’ terrorist strikes. Despite representing ‘bleeding-edge’ technology, Horus was designed, built and successfully demonstrated in just 7 weeks after award of contract by Defence’s Rapid Prototyping, Development and Evaluation organisation.
- Award of contract to design, manufacture, deploy and operate a Mobile Rocket Impact Scoring System at Woomera test range, South Australia. Last year C-E Solutions installed a bomb scoring system for an Air Weapons Range in Northern Queensland. Obviously impressed with the product, Defence engaged C-E Solutions to provide a mobile variant that delivers even better performance than the fixed system. C-E Solutions deployed this system to Woomera to test the rocket firing accuracy of Defence's new Tiger Armed Reconnaissance Helicopter. C-E Solutions provided an end-to-end managed services in which it designed, sourced material, manufactured, deployed, installed and operated the bespoke system, all within 6 weeks of receiving the order! The Defence department was suitably impressed, but it was Eurocopter, the original French designer and manufacturer of the Tiger helicopter that was more than happy as C-E Solutions’ precision system was able to clearly assess that the accuracy of the helicopter was better than what had previously been demonstrable, passing the Commonwealth’s test with flying colours.
- C-E Solutions has grown from 6 employees to 12 employees in the last 15 months. This has been during a time of economic fear in the shadow of a global financial crisis and also notable is that C-E Solutions attracted quality people, who relocated from capital cities in order to carry out interesting and fulfilling work. It should also be noted that this growth really constitutes greater than 200% growth, as the employed company overheads associated with the workforce has remained the same.
Each achievement above is noteworthy in its own right. Considered collectively, they clearly make C-E Solutions a standout business. The judges of the Hunter Business Awards thought so too.
