The big news from this week was yesterday’s announcement that the government has given final approval on the Land 121 medium and heavy truck upgrade, worth $1.4 billion. We lead Defence Week with Managing Editor Katherine Ziesing's thoughts on the program as it finally comes to a close.
In other news, a RAAF Poseidon launches a Harpoon into a US Navy ship (now there's a headline you won’t see often), a Sydney start-up builds a potential Wasp replacement, a British report examines Defence’s contributions to national prosperity, Abrams tanks feature a next-gen battle management system on Ex Hamel, and global tech leaders sign a pledge against autonomous weapons.
Finally, ADM is looking forward to announcing the winners of the inaugural Women in Defence Awards tomorrow. Keep an eye on our website from 3 pm.
