Managing Editor Katherine Ziesing opens today's Defence Week with a question; what happened to ERP at Land Forces? The multi-billion dollar IT program reached second gate approval earlier this year, but has since fallen quiet.
In other news, some of the RAAF's new Spartan C27-Js have been grounded by fuel contamination, CASG head Kim Gillis prepares for retirement, ASPI's Robert Macklin writes a case study on lessons from the AWD program, a Sydney-based SME joins an information warfare consortium, and Airbus sets a new world record.
And the house announcements: Forms for this year's Top 40 Defence Contractors survey will be sent out in early September, as will Expressions of Interest for the next round of the Essington Lewis awards. Register now for ADM's Defence Estate and Base Services Summit, to be held on September 19th in Canberra.
There are slightly different arrangements for this week's ADM Tenders and Defence Week PDF due to unforeseen circumstances - the documents are available here. Associate Publisher Kylie Leonard will send both out again in the usual fashion as soon as possible.
