This week our senior correspondent Tom Muir takes a look at the Minister's reform strategy for AWD.
Also, Honeywell Aerospace has signed an agreement with TAE to provide total logistics support for the Honeywell AGT1500 gas turbine engines installed in the Australian Army’s fleet of Abrams M1A1 tanks.
As mentioned previously, ADM’s annual Cyber Security Conference is being held in Canberra next week (19th-20th June) at the Hotel Realm. It’s not too late to book if this is of interest to you. Click here for more details on the event. Along with the rest of the ADM team who will be out in force next week at the Cyber Security event, I hope to see you there.
Cheers,
