As the Defence ministerial team hits Washington this week there's been results for the Force Posture Initiative negotiations and opportunities for more local F-35 work. Editor Katherine Ziesing has a look at CASA's new RPA regulations plus there are new partnerships between BAE Systems and PHM Technology as well as Army and CHC Helicopters for aeromedical evacuation.
In other news we look at counter-UAS technology, an improved A330 MRTT and an Engineers Australia award for ASC.
