This week in Defence Week we bring you a range of material from helicopters to how blockchain is being felt in Defence industry. Nigel Pittaway took to the water this week to check out some new diesel outboard engines while David and Vicki Jones attended their local Qld AIDN meeting which coincided with the opening of a new facility for PFI.

News this week that the Triton RPA has been approved by government is very welcome as the move has been in the making for almost two decades. A big congrats to everyone involved to get the program to this point.

Ewen is still on leave so please give me a buzz if you need anything from the ADM team.
