    From SAS to ASX: Wayne Jones on Building the World’s Leading Tactical VR Training Platform | The Briefing Room EP19
    2026/04/15
    In this episode of The Briefing Room, Peta Ellis sits down with Wayne Jones, CEO and Co-Founder of xReality Group (ASX: XRG) and its subsidiary Operator XR. Wayne served 21 years in the Australian Defence Force, spending the last 15 in the Special Air Service Regiment with deployments across Rwanda, East Timor, and Afghanistan. After leaving the ADF, he co-founded Indoor Skydive Australia (iFly), which listed on the ASX in 2013 as the highest-performing IPO of the year. When a legal battle halted iFly’s expansion, Wayne made a bold pivot into virtual reality, ultimately building Operator XR, now one of the world’s leading tactical training platforms for military and law enforcement. In this conversation, Wayne and Peta cover:
    • What 21 years in the SASR teaches you about leadership, resilience, and taking action under uncertainty
    • How two SAS soldiers founded iFly and built the highest-performing ASX IPO of 2013
    • The legal battle that stopped iFly’s expansion and forced a pivot to virtual reality
    • How Operator XR now serves around 95 US law enforcement agencies with immersive, data-driven tactical training
    • Why counter-drone training in VR is now one of the fastest-growing use cases for the platform
    • Keeping the engineering culture alive in Australia while scaling the business in the US

    From Lab to Battlefield: How Silentium Defence Built the World's Leading Passive Radar Company | The Briefing Room EP18
    2026/04/09
    In this episode of The Briefing Room, Peta Ellis sits down with James Palmer, CEO and Co-Founder of Silentium Defence, the Adelaide-based company redefining what it means to see without being seen. James shares the full story: from meeting his co-founder at the Defence Science and Technology Group in 2006, to a decade of experimental research, to the decision in 2017 to leave the public service and build a company from scratch. What followed is one of Australia's most compelling deep tech origin stories, navigating IP and conflict-of-interest requirements, running through the CSIRO ON Accelerate program, securing early grants and commercial contracts, and ultimately building a globally recognised passive radar business with over 100 employees across Australia and the US. In this conversation, James and Peta cover:
    • How passive radar works, and why not emitting a signal is the ultimate tactical advantage
    • The MAVERICK family of systems, from soldier-portable units to the OmniGuard space domain awareness platform
    • The decision to enter the US market and post a co-founder to Virginia
    • How Silentium maintains a unified culture as it scales globally
    • What the next two years look like as the company focuses on manufacturing scale and global market expansion
