A dedicated design and production facility for the company behind the world’s most precise clock has been launched at Lot Fourteen by Premier Steven Marshall.
Cryoclock develops and produces novel precision time and frequency solutions for use in defence, space, quantum computing and critical infrastructure.
It has joined other leading businesses and organisations in the focus hi-tech and defence sectors at Lot Fourteen, including the Australian Institute of Machine Learning, the Australian Cyber Collaboration Centre, Leonardo Australia, and Naval Group Pacific.
“At Lot Fourteen we are supercharging innovation, investment and the creation of high-value career and job opportunities for South Australians, particularly in in our focus sectors of hi-tech, space and defence,” Premier Marshall said.
“Cryoclock ticks all of these boxes, as the company behind the world’s most precise clock and precision time and frequency solutions for use in defence, space, quantum computing and critical infrastructure.”
Cryoclock’s flagship product, the Sapphire Clock, has already attracted the attention and major funding of national partners in the defence industry in their quest for greater radar precision.
Defence Minister Linda Reynolds announced that BAE Systems Australia and Cryoclock had been awarded a $4.8 million contract to further develop the ultra-high precision technology to enhance the performance of Australia’s Jindalee Operational Radar Network (JORN).
BAE Systems’ advanced defence technology protects people and national security and keeps critical information and infrastructure secure.
