Who we are

Your Trusted Partner in Sovereign EW Capability

Mellori Solutions is a veteran-owned, 100% Australian EW business based in the Shoalhaven, NSW. For over 20 years, we’ve led the way in sovereign Electromagnetic Warfare (EW) testing, training, and product development, supporting the Australian Defence Force (ADF) and its allies.

Our team is built on real-world experience. Many of our engineers and technicians are former ADF personnel who understand the challenges of defence operations firsthand. This deep operational knowledge drives everything we do, from in-field testing to the development of advanced, sovereign EW solutions.

Our in-house EW lab allows us to design and test systems that meet the specific needs of today’s fast-evolving EM battlespace. With offices located near key defence bases in Adelaide, Toowoomba, and our headquarters in South Nowra, we are strategically positioned to provide the capability and performance assurance defence teams depend on.

Where We've Come From

From humble beginnings, following a chance meeting in 1998 whilst rowing on the Shoalhaven River, founders Laurie Koster, Fran Koster and Phil Guy struck up a friendship built around their shared passions and experience serving in the military. Their combined experience and belief that they could offer better solutions to the Australian Defence Force inspired the launch of Global Defence Solutions and Mellori Solutions. Julia Guy later joined the adventure, and the Alkath Group was born.

Little did they know, that 25 years on, we would be recognised as a leading defence SME and key partner within the Australian defence industry. We would also like to recognise all of the people who have contributed to us reaching this stage of our adventure – THANK YOU!
