Deputy Editor-at-Large Nigel Pittaway has filed three stories for this week's ADM Defence Week Premium from a searing hot (literally!) Paris Air Show, providing news on Textron's Nightwarden TUAS, a Special Forces variant of the Super Hercules and a planned KC-390 visit to NZ.
Raising more than a few eyebrows, DCNS has confirmed before a Senate hearing this week that it doesn't envisage a role for ASC in the building of the Future Submarines and I take a closer look at the Government's investment to enhance the satellite imagery dissemination process.
ADM's hugely popular Defence Estate and Base Services Summit will return to Canberra on 19th September – register now to secure your place.
Lastly, ADM's iTunes version of the digital magazine is no longer available however we now have an improved digital edition available for viewing via our website here,
