Defence will conduct a combined Defence and Industry Working Group to discuss current projects and transitions in the Aerospace Environment on 2 March 2017 at the Avalon Airshow.

The Aerospace Environment Working Group 2017 (AEWG) provides a forum for discussion between Defence stakeholders and industry members. The aim is to identify industry opportunities for Aerospace projects both in the Integrated Investment Program and beyond. The intent is to promote mutual understanding and support for the complementary roles played by industry and Defence.

Such engagement assists Defence to better define the capability options and resource requirements which in turn helps industry to prepare for the acquisition and support phases of the projects. This AEWG will also provide an opportunity to explore future innovation opportunities, with industry called upon to provide submissions on Defence provided topics.

The AEWG will be conducted at the unclassified level and is open to all members of Defence Industry and the ADF.
