In this episode of the Defence Connect Podcast, Bell Flight’s
international military campaign manager, Javier “NERF” Ball, and
Capture Team Lead-LAND 4503 Rowan Tink join host Phil Tarrant to
discuss the LAND 4503 – Armed Reconnaissance Helicopter Replacement
program.
Javier and Rowan break down the expeditionary-focused and
ruggedised nature of the AH-1Z Viper platform, building on decades
of platform and operational evolution with the US Marines to
culminate delivery of a next-generation platform for the ADF.
Javier and Rowan will also discuss the process behind the scenes to
flesh out their proposal to the Australian government as part of
the LAND 4503 – Armed Reconnaissance Helicopter Replacement
program.
Finally, Javier and Rowan will expand on the industry opportunities
for Australian companies should the AH-1Z Viper be selected as a
result of the growing number of aircraft being operated in the
Indo-Pacific, building on the maintenance and sustainment program
of record presented by the F-35.
