In this episode of the Defence Connect Podcast, host Steve Kuper is joined by Chris Deeble AO CSC, Deputy Secretary, Capability Acquisition and Sustainment Group (CASG), as they unpack the formative year that has been for Australia’s burgeoning defence industry.
The pair discuss the significant work currently underway to reform Australia’s defence capability acquisition and procurement ecosystem, including:
- The key lessons for CASG through the engagement, development and now delivery phases of the government’s Defence Industry Development Strategy.
- How Australia is working with like-minded nations, in particular the United States and the United Kingdom, and their efforts to modernise their own defence industrial bases.
- The key priorities central to delivering the next stage of the Defence Industry Development Strategy over the next 12 months.
