Capability Plus is Raytheon Australia’s industry leading small and medium enterprise (SME) engagement program.

Designed to be tailored to SMEs needs, Capability Plus focuses on bolstering local industry to deliver on the Australian Government’s objectives to establish enduring, sovereign capability.

In a practical sense, it is all about creating new and easier pathways for SMEs to do even more work with Defence.

Raytheon Australia provides a broad combination of mentoring, training, skills transfer and other forms of support that will be developed in partnership with the SMEs. Focusing on what will be most helpful to them in improving their capability and competitiveness both here in Australia, and potentially on the world stage.

The Capability Plus program is cultivating long-term partnerships between Raytheon Australia and local SMEs, to strengthen and grow organisations such that they are able to support the nation’s defence objectives to develop greater supply chain resilience and self-reliance.

Raytheon Australia works with these SMEs to provide support opportunities and build inherent skills in a number of areas including:

  • leadership;
  • engineering and program management training;
  • quality and ISO certification mentorship;
  • cyber security support; and
  • global trade knowledge transfer (including access to Raytheon Technologies’ global supply chain program).
