A new #AIRC research report provides insights into achieving faster #defense #acquisition functions than the current #JCIDS process. A key recommendation from researchers Michael McGrath, Dr. Don Schlomer and Mo Mansouri: "For all requirements whose anticipated solution is a non-MDAP acquisition program, regardless of Adaptive Acquisition Framework (AAF) pathway, the Joint Staff should consider accepting a streamlined Sponsor document received by the Joint Staff Gatekeeper as an acceptable alternative to a JCIDS document. The default Joint Staff Determination (JSD) category should be “Joint Information,” with delegation of requirements validation to the Sponsor. In cases where a Joint Performance Requirement exists, the Joint Staff should participate as reviewers in the Sponsor’s review and approval process. By exception, a documented JROC or Joint Capabilities Board (JCB) expression of interest may change the JSD category and require JROC or JCB approval. Such exceptions should be rare for non-MDAP programs."

AUKUS Pillar 2 This a significant opportunity for many SME companies to rise. Over the coming weeks and months Artemis Defense Technologies will holding collaboration workshops in order to see how we can work with others to fund and collaborate in key initiatives for Pillar 2.

Aerospace and defense: US Deals 2024 outlook - Mid-size transactions will likely continue to drive M&A in 2024 - Large defense prime contractors likely to pursue smaller assets in key growth areas (unmanned aircraft, hypersonics, cyber and space) - Commercial aerospace sector likely to outpace overall global economic growth as the sector recovers to pre-pandemic levels  - High fuel costs, supply chain issues, competition for talent and pressure to deliver sustainability initiatives are headwinds that could impact deal levels

Getting the right information to the right people at the right time is paramount to national defense and intelligence efforts.

Thales Australia is developing a masterplan for the company’s Carrington site on the Newcastle foreshore to establish a sovereign Maritime Autonomy and SME Collaboration Precinct. The Precinct, on the site which built and supports the Royal Australian Navy’s (RAN) Huon class minehunter coastal (MHC) and mine warfare capability, will support Mine Countermeasures and Military Survey Capability SEA1905-1 programme, should Thales be selected. Such a selection would inject more than $40 million in the local Hunter economy in New South Wales in the first five years, and create over 100 new jobs. The Vice President, Underwater Systems, Thales Australia and New Zealand Troy Stephen said Newcastle and the Hunter region had been a stalwart of the RAN’s mine countermeasure capability from the time of construction of the first Huon class MHC vessels by then Australian Defence Industries (ADI) in the nineties. Today MHC maintenance and support continues to be carried out at Carrington. #defence #defenceindustry #manufacturing #australianmanufacturing Defence Australia #maritime #marineengineering https://lnkd.in/gc83Ds6a
