12 Defence Manufacturing Opportunities Parliament of Victoria Briefing Mark Hodge - CEO June 26, 2014 Capability through collaboration

13 Defence & NatSec: Context Guide to Australia s National Security Capability CAPABILITY THROUGH COLLABORATION 2

14 Stakeholder perspectives Listen mate I define the requirements PRACTITIONER Has to be small, lightweight & 99.99% reliable Driven by threat environment Soldier-proof Operational-requirement Time critical (deployment) Fieldable, modular, flexible Has to be best of breed. Have to have it now. Can t field it without ACIB endorsement The next DCP funding window is 7 years away I need to see the requirements definition case INDUSTRY Capability driver Systems approach Budget constrained Acquisition strategy Risk aware (averse?) Best value = cheapest acquisition. Sustainment is someone else s problem My product can do everything you need I need security of contract to innovate I need flexibility to work out the kinks in my product We need to risk mitigate buy COTS, MOTS Program Mgr Customer s role is to integrate, commercialize I ve moved on I ve been doing this for years I don t need program management Profit motive Contract tenure Needs black box S&T ready to go Only interested in relevant elements of technology S&T If you push long enough, they ll come around You don t get it this project is unique I need more time, money Maximum possible utility of technology is the goal Inherent risk in R&D Cost, schedule estimate CAPABILITY THROUGH COLLABORATION 3

15 R&D Capability case Sourced from the UK MOD Defence Industrial Strategy, December 2005 pg 39 CAPABILITY THROUGH COLLABORATION 4

16 Industrial capability = strategic capability A capable, innovative industry sector is a key component of a robust national security policy and strategic framework. In its absence, Australia will be forced to rely heavily on allies and offshore industrial capability in key areas for some of our most important defence assets, thereby introducing unnecessary strategic risk to national security.

22 Cross Platform Capability = sustainability Bushmaster PMV Automated off-line programming for roboton-robot production welding cell resulting in up to 70% savings in the time it takes to reconfigure automated assembly Pre-heat/re-heat optimisation Automation of production increased from 30% ~95% Air Warfare Destroyer Investment in new panel line utilising new DMTC technologies, resulting in: - Increase in deposition rates - Reduction or elimination of plate distortion - Thousands of hours of rework eliminated per module Hawkei PMV Design, production & weight optimisation SEA 5000, SEA 1000, frigates, etc.???
