SE2E21 New Pod Drop! | Veterans at the Helm: Delivering Capability to Defence Supply Chains

In this episode of Military Mindset for Business, we chat with Daniel Stevens, founder of Seitec and creator of UXOTrackS—a groundbreaking system for detecting and locating unexploded ordnance.

A 20-year RAAF veteran, Daniel went from working on F-111s and Super Hornets to engineering solutions for Air Weapons Ranges. When he spotted a critical capability gap, he didn’t wait for industry to fix it—he built the answer himself. That idea became UXOTrackS, a project that won Defence backing, a $4.2M contract, and is now in operational use.

We cover:

How to turn barriers into opportunities
Lessons from taking an idea from concept to capability
The power of mindset in Defence innovation
A few laughs—including a “foot-in-mouth” moment with DEP SEC CASG

💡 If you’re into Defence, tech, or start-ups, this one’s gold.
