We have a packed edition of Defence Week this week. Deputy Editor-at-Large Nigel Pittaway covers the latest at Exercise Pitch Black and speaks to the CO of the Indian Air Force's 102 Squadron about the capabilities of Sukhoi fighters and his hopes for the exercise.

In other news, I speak to Assistant Chief Patrick Stewart of US Border Patrol about geospatial information systems, ASPI's Jacky Westermann looks into the nuclear debate in Germany and Australia, the Australian Space Agency calls for industry input, Defence announces the timing of the Land 200 Phase 3 industry brief (more details are available here), Airbus and the University of Sydney partner on innovation, research reveals the true size of Queensland's Defence community, and RAAF hosts women from Brisbane in its inaugural Aviation Camp.

ADM is also gearing for our second STEM and Defence Summit in Canberra later this month. More details can be found here.
