The pair explore aspects of the changing regional defence landscape in Australia, including:

Changes in the Australian defence industrial base and a big picture approach to the AUKUS trilateral defence partnership between Australia, the US and the UK.
The continuing discussion regarding servicing and operations of Royal Australian Air Force F-35 aircraft and the broader Asia-Pacific F-35 fleet.
Honeywell’s perspectives on the current geopolitical and defence landscape, and what that might mean more practically for technology providers.
