Angus Hone, Blighter Surveillance Systems CEO said:
“We are delighted to be officially partnered with AMS Defence. Australia is a key defence market for Blighter and AMS Defence established expertise will help expand our footprint in this region. We look forward to working with them to respond to the requirements of the Australian Armed Forces."
