ADM's Defence Week continues its coverage of our recent Northern Australia Defence Summit with a summary of Army's Land Forces Commander MAJGEN Gus McLachlan's keynote speech on training policy and practice. We also revisit the ScanEagle/FFG trial which has been a model demonstartion of how a UAV can be integrated into an established combat system.

Weapons ranges and training are adapting to better prepare the soldier for modern combat and NSW SME Australian Target Systems recently took out the inaugural NSW Defence Export Award.

BAE Systems looks to the future for its basic flight training facilities at Tamworth, having secured a lease for commercial flight training, and NASAMS finds its first regional buyer in Indonesia.

Slides and presentations from some of our speakers at last week's event can now be viewed here,
