In this episode of the Defence Connect Spotlight podcast, Nova Systems CEO Dean Rosenfield and chief people officer Shelley Willsmore join host Liam Garman to unpack key lessons from the war in Ukraine for Australia’s industrial base and how Australia can better collaborate with its AUKUS partners.

  • Rosenfield and Willsmore begin the podcast examining key lessons from the British and European defence industries following Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine.
  • They then unpack the concept of diversification across the tripartite AUKUS alliance, ensuring that defence industry and allied militaries don’t duplicate efforts, before examining the role of capability audits in defence.
  • The trio wrap up the podcast looking into how Nova Systems is overcoming workforce challenges and the importance of ensuring Australia gets Test and Evaluation capability right, following the release of the Defence Industry Development Strategy.
