With online editor Patrick Durrant away in Germany this week, today’s edition of ADM’s Defence Week Premium (DWP) newsletter is brought to you by Editor Katherine Ziesing who has taken a closer look at the similarities between the Norwegian and Australian submarine programs, the change of contracts for Armidale class sustainment (insert ink) and much more.
From synthetic training for Navy to mobile device security, DWP has a lot on offer this week at a time when the Defence business community is waiting for a raft of imminent capability announcements. As soon as we know more, you will too.
If by some twist of the fates, you have not received your April Sea Power edition of ADM, please contact us to follow that up.
As always, the ADM team can be reached on all the usual social media channels plus email/phones if you want to comment on our articles or make suggestions.
