The Australian Government recently announced the expansion of the Global Supply Chain Program, increasing participating major defence companies from 7 to 13. Of these, 11 have a strong presence in South Australia, including - - BAE Systems Australia - Babcock Australia & New Zealand - Boeing - HII - Kongsberg Defence Australia - L3Harris Technologies - Lockheed Martin - Northrop Grumman - Raytheon Australia - Rheinmetall - Saab Australia This expansion boosts export opportunities and supports the Defence Industry Development Strategy, enhancing job support, local business growth, and integration into global supply chains.

NOC vs LMT: A Valuation War Between Top Defence Manufacturers!! 💪 Northrop Grumman (NOC) and Lockheed Martin (LMT), two top defense manufacturers, are battling it out in the stock market. Both companies are seeing strong growth, with LMT slightly outperforming NOC. Despite high valuations, their future looks bright as US defense spending continues to rise. Keep an eye on these aerospace giants! #DefenceStocks #NorthropGrumman #LockheedMartin #USstocks

Pleased to share the second story for Aviation Week Network about Bombardier following my recent visit to the company's headquarters in Montreal, which takes a look at the company's growing interest in the defense sector. Excerpts below: Bombardier has long had outsized ambitions, best exemplified by its near-death experience in the mid-2010s following years of bruising competition with Boeing and Airbus. A timely bailout by the Quebec government, for whom Bombardier is a regional as well as national champion, was the first step on the long road to recovery. The question now is if Bombardier’s growing defense foray will complement its existing business jet products. During Bombardier’s first-quarter earnings call, Martel described 2023 as “a banner year for Bombardier defense.” He cited deliveries to the U.S. Air Force as part of the BACN [U.S. Air Force Battlefield Airborne Communications Node Program] and Saab as part of the GlobalEye Solution for the Swedish Air Force. In a March 2023 report, Aviation Week Network noted most of Bombardier’s competitors in the defense sector use composite structures in the wing and fuselage, which makes modification costlier with the antennas, pods and weapon stations needed for special missions. In contrast, the Global 6000/6500’s metal airframe and wings, long-range performance and ample supply of onboard electric power have made the Bombardier jet popular with military and government operators. Since defense programs often take a long time before they come to fruition, investors will have to be patient. These are still early days for Bombardier’s defense expansion, but so far, they seem willing to take Martel at his word. #bombardier #defense #military #nationalsecurity #businessaviation #businessjet #privatejet #aviation #investing #aerospace #canada #montreal #quebec https://lnkd.in/e7QUDFcS

I’m on holiday for the next week. Don’t expect too much from me in that time. Keeping my intro short and sweet: Russia and China are buzzing Alaska in their first document joint air patrol. Leonardo wants more consolidation in the European defense industry. Boeing is still in the news, joining the ranks of several other primes rejecting fixed-price contracts, because why wouldn’t industry want to try and take all the money from the government? Raytheon needs more solid rocket motors (think you can help them out, Firehawk Aerospace and X-Bow Systems Inc.?). And if you recall, I’ve talked a fair amount in the first half of the year about how slow investments were happening in #Defense. It does seem to be that they’re finally picking up pace—but mostly at the growth stage. Dive in to these and other issues surrounding aerospace and defense technology, while I go dive into the swimming pool. 🔗: https://lnkd.in/e28jDf_h #defensetechnology #militarytechnology #venturecapital

Latest update on Osprey CSL from an overall Strategic perspective 👏

🤝 Teaming agreement for new platform situational awareness tool Together with BAE Systems, Inc., we have entered into a teaming agreement to bring the Integrated Combat Solution (ICS) to the U.S. defence market. The agreement was signed during this year’s #AUSA in Washington, DC. The transformational battlefield situational awareness tool for combat vehicles will provide the Warfighter with the capability to link and share video streams, metadata, target information, slew-to-cue commands, and much more, reducing the typical threat response speed from minutes to seconds. Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace will develop the ICS tool, while BAE Systems will integrate it onto combat vehicles. Together, the companies will support ongoing technology upgrades throughout the product lifecycle. “Together we will deliver ICS as a core enabler of modern warfare, providing all-domain visibility, command and control,” said Kjetil Reiten Myhra, Executive Vice President Defence Systems, Kongsberg Defence and Aerospace. “This force multiplier streamlines complicated threat responses, networking mobility platforms and other assets for increased combat capability. #ICS #DefenceIndustry #Collaboration
