Somehow January seems to have almost gone with February just around the corner. And that means ADM Congress time. For more on the event on February 10 at the Hyatt in Canberra please click here.
We’ve got a range of coverage this week including an update on how the Tiger remediation program is going, TAE’s
contribution on the JSF and a look at how New Zealand handles their Defence industry policy. And a few more articles thrown in for good measure. I hope you’re enjoying the new Defence Week Premium format. Any and all feedback is more than welcome!
Cheers,
