There's plenty of news from the skies in this edition of Defence Week. We open with the news that Northrup Grumman has delivered the first two Triton platforms to the US Navy in the wake of Germany deciding to buy four of the long-range UASs. These developments represent a step forward for the Australian program, which should reach a critical milestone later this year.
In other news, I attended a presentation by Dr Jason Held on how to nurture Australia's space economy, Airbus chooses WA to host the world's first pseudo satellite trials, the University of South Australia wins a half billion dollar grant from Siemens, the latest Black Hornet UAV takes off, and Martin Baker sets up shop in Williamtown.
We've also added a 'Top Comments' feature in this edition, which debuts with Thomas and Johnno's thoughts on the lack of conventional skegs in Austal vessels.
Finally, a reminder that ADM's STEM in Defence summit will be held on August 21 in Canberra, with details available here.
