In this edition of Defence Week, Managing Editor Katherine Ziesing opens with a look at Army aviation’s new policy on ad hoc industry engagement (spoiler - it's not great).
In other news, Deputy Editor Nigel Pittaway reveals heightened British interest in Boeing E-7 Wedgetails, the RAAF’s new C27-J Spartans deploy to the Territory for Ex Pitch Black, the Australian Space Agency roadshow gets underway, the US Navy discovers faulty welding in its nuclear submarine build, and the Kiwis tap CAE for NH90 helicopter training devices.
Lastly, some house announcements. Forms for this year's Top 40 Defence Contractors survey will be sent out in early September, as will Expressions of Interest for the next round of the Essington Lewis awards. ADM is also preparing for our second STEM and Defence Summit in Canberra next week, where you will find Katherine, Kylie and myself on deck. More details can be found here.
