Following expectations that a decision on Sea 5000 might be made last week, we open with a Special Report into the current state of the project and discuss how the future of ASW may influence the government's choice. Whilst helicopters play a dominant role in ASW operations today, the rise of unmanned underwater vehicles will likely require a more networked approach over the lifespan of the Future Frigate.
In other news, Defence unconventionally confirms Spike LR2s for the Boxers via the Estimates hearing yesterday, I discuss how industry can meaningfully engage with the government's Indigenous Procurement Policy, an update on how Big Army and Little Army are pursuing CBRNE gear, another Sea 5000 prime courts Flinders Uni, and much more.
We've also released the speakers list for ADM's second STEM in Defence Summit.
