The recent defence industry hearing conducted by the NSW Government gets coverage in this ADM Defence Week – with some constructive feedback provided by the industry and advocacy reps in attendance, there's no reason why NSW can't perform as strongly as other states, particularly in the area of smart systems.

Tomorrow marks the last opportunity for early bird rates at the forthcoming Pacific 2017 maritime expo in Sydney, so be sure to register before it’s too late.
Finally our latest August edition of ADM is available online here,
