This week ADM caught up with SA Defence Industry Minister Martin Hamilton-Smith, recently returned from an SA defence industry and trade mission to Europe.
Editor Katherine Ziesing writes on an American shipbuilding giant setting up shop in Canberra, as well as ASC's annual report and the recent ADM Northern Australia Defence Summit.
ADM checked out a novel counter drone technology that's set to enter the market early next year; we also attended the first Future Frigate/OPV/CDIC industry briefing event in Adelaide.
There are a large number of important defence industry relevant events concerning major projects in the coming months. See the listings in our PDF version of the newsletter or on our website.
Finally, former manager of Mercedes Benz Military Vehicles Mark Dixon will be running the NY Marathon this Sunday and needs your support to reach his goal of raising $10K for charity Soldier On, so please support him for this great cause,
