October 29, 2015

Welcome to another issue of our premium newsletter. ADM Editor Katherine Ziesing has returned from the French shipyards – the French are keen to allay concerns about their interoperability with the US and don't see any problem sharing highly sensitive information with Australia on characteristics such as acoustic signatures.
 
Katherine also reports from our Defence in Northern Australia summit currently taking place in Darwin (we keep her busy!) that security concerns surrounding the lease of Port of Darwin to a Chinese company are unfounded. 
 
The headline news this week was of course the US freedom of navigation operation in the South China Sea – here we reflect upon what is at stake and what to expect.
 
In other news, HMAS Waller is still not fully operational after the fire early last year and Northrop Grumman has been awarded the contract to deliver the next Long Range Strike Bomber for the US.
 
We are now taking submissions for our annual Top 40 Defence Contractors or Top 20 Defence SMEs for 2015 – we hope to hear from you! In the meantime follow our news from the summit on Twitter #NADefence15,
