Team

All our engineers and technical personnel have a weapons background, extensive industry experience and are qualified weapons handlers. Many are ex-military and some are serving reservists meaning Proxenus has an intimate knowledge of equipment that many civilian engineers do not. We also speak the same language as military personnel, so we can easily and accurately capture their needs and quickly draft user requirements.

Importantly, Proxenus is not a subsidiary of, or directly connected with, any suppliers or manufacturers of weapon systems. Through our independence, clients can be completely confident that their purchasing decisions are not biased. Clients have 100 per cent certainty that our information, advice and recommendations are truly independent and trustworthy.

Proxenus is a fully Australian owned and operated company that works nationally and around the world.
