With a sigh of relief we have seen the end of 2020, but this new
year is set to be a big year for Defence and defence industry as
Australia prepares for the challenges of the 2020s.
In this episode of the Defence Connect Podcast, hosts Phil Tarrant
and Steve Kuper recap the year that was 2020 and some of the early
announcements kicking off what is sure to be a huge 2021.
The pair discuss the government’s decision to replace the ARH
Tiger’s with the venerable Boeing AH-64E Apache and the arrival of
NUSHIP Supply, the first of the Navy’s next
generation AOR replenishment vessels.
Phil and Steve then briefly discuss the geo-strategic environment
and challenges facing incoming US President Joe Biden, and what we
can expect over the next four years.
Finally, the pair also discuss some of the new year success stories
for Australian defence industry leaders; Sydney-based advanced
manufacturing powerhouse Quickstep and Canberra-based cyber
security company archTIS.
