Cubic and 4C Strategies to Provide Common Counter Terrorism Exercise Management Systems

TOWNSVILLE, Australia - September 4, 2025 - Cubic Defence Australia and 4C Strategies welcome the Australian Department of Home Affairs' selection of 4C Strategies' Exonaut Software to provide Common Counter Terrorism Exercise Management Systems (CCTEMS).

The Exonaut exercise management capability delivers virtual, remote information management to enhance interoperability and flexibility in counter-terrorism training. Exonaut is the world's leading exercise and readiness management software solution, delivered and supported in Australia by Cubic and 4C Strategies. The platform is used by allied forces and partners across NATO, governments, and enterprises for effective, data-driven capability development and training readiness. Exonaut will be implemented as an Australia New Zealand Common Counter Terrorism (ANZCTC) platform for exercise capabilities.

"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 behavioral 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."

Miles Macdonald, Vice President APAC of 4C Strategies 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 Exonaut has been selected to underpin the CCTEMS and support such a vital mission."
