Coming a day after ADM's Defence Estate and Base Services Summit, today's Defence Week opens with Deputy Editor Nigel Pittaway's overview of the recurrent themes touched upon by speakers, including the challenge of achieving outcomes for Defence at a time when major civil infrastructure projects are kicking off around the country.
In other news, I ask whether the ADF is ready to listen to the innovations of tomorrow, Nick Jordan outlines current military vehicle design considerations, Exercise Kakadu wraps up in the Top End, L3 expands equipment repair facilities in Brisbane, Austal is commissioned to build two more LCS ships for the US Navy, and Defence appoints DWS Group as its ICT provider.
Lastly, forms for this year's Top 40 Defence Contractors survey have been sent out, with responses due November 16. If you have not received yours, please contact ADM Managing Editor Katherine Ziesing.
