With the wonders of Avalon now a fading memory, the ADM team is looking forward to our massive April spread on Land 400. If you or your company are interested in the program in any way, shape or form, please give us an email or call for a catch up. With the industry day for the multi-billion dollar program due to be held next week in Melbourne, it's the perfect time to
examine the contenders and technology.
In DWP news this week, we have a look at the growing UCAV market and how the Triton program is shaping up. Continuing our 'How country X does Defence' Phil Smart has a look at the German example.
And ADM would like to say goodbye to former DMO CEO Warren King who has left the organisation, effective of Friday last week. It's a tough gig but King handled it well over his four years.
Cheers,
Katherine Ziesing
