Great to see Defence Australia, Ventia and Raytheon co-investing in sector leadership. Like the ADF system, there is value in training together; understanding the different cultures/drivers, and growing respect for the important r…lnkd.in/gJBgcVn5 lnkd.in/gdcEBGHH
Australia exports more defence products than you might think, but this deal is comparatively large. Give our small and fluctuating national demand, exports must form part of our Defence Industry strategy. What does it signal for…lnkd.in/g9uKP9Gy lnkd.in/g_pDNGGG
We've commenced the 18-month start-up phase of ASCA. $748m over the next four years for innovation. We've traditionally had no shortage of ideas in Australian Defence Industry, it's the linking of matured tech/services into the I…lnkd.in/g6je6ZW7 lnkd.in/g94fbKyQ
Good result for Lockheed Martin Australia Pty Ltd and regional NSW. Deeper maintenance on tightly controlled US technology isn't simple. Over 200 staff in an integrated ADF/APS/Industry team demonstrating what can be achieved. #defenceindustry lnkd.in/g3uKZFPG
Unlike other countries, Australia doesn't often use political leaders in military sales. Both Rheinmetall and Hanwha Defense Australia appear to be offering export options. Given the reduced ADF scope these foreign sales are crit…lnkd.in/g9FC95aF lnkd.in/gT4ZP8b2

Fascinating collision of strategic choices here, to be resolved 30 Sep 23. Do Adelaide jobs matter more than Navy missile launch cell numbers? Will fast from overseas trump slower but higher AIC? Perhaps odd that a retired US Ad…lnkd.in/dk8rdwUj lnkd.in/dgTe_sSf
#defenceindustry is a tough crowd. A $52B FY24 spend (up 7%). Why so sour? Because this is the 5th/6th time in the last 20 years where Defence Industry has been told "give us time - we'll be ready to seriously invest in 18 month…lnkd.in/dQBqrr44 lnkd.in/dYXvbe5k
The ADF continues to grow its expertise in autonomy, this time with Deakin University. Technologies that enable less people in less danger is the ambition #defenceindustry lnkd.in/g_rzZrRr
Few disagree that Defence needs to harness Australia's entrepreneurial class more effectively. ASCA is part of that, but BAE Systems Australia and Stone & Chalk's efforts will be very welcome. #defenceindustry Tom Tizard Michael Bromley lnkd.in/giQBAtf4

DSR demands we move faster. How? Well, one idea is using Mission Engineering to rapidly align warfighter needs directly with acquisition system requirement. Integrated ADF and integrated coalitions. Learn more here #defenceindustry lnkd.in/gh2MQmmz
This RFT came to market in 2018. Qld and Vic supply chains have therefore been readying for some 7 years. Tough conversations if it goes overseas. #defenceindustry lnkd.in/gXDaf_SJ
Economic headwinds, follow-on Defence internal reviews, talent shortages, large scale organisational redesign: what are the odds Defence isn't able to spend its $52B FY24 budget? #defenceindustry lnkd.in/gwcjVVxz
Biden will ask Congress to classify Australian Defence Industry as 'Domestic Source' for US procurement decisions. If it happens, this should open a world of investment and contractual opportunity for Australian business. #defenceindustry lnkd.in/gkshJSgu
