I'm excited for #Avalon next week: The pinnacle of 🇦🇺 #UAS/#Drone industry gathering!

I wrote this 👇 last year, but haven't posted about it yet. Stoked to have #ASPI and #AusAirForce support to write this opinion piece for the ANZ Defence Directory 2025.

What a great exhibition #ADFCreativeArts at #ADFA! Well done!
Get onto #DefendingTheArts #Canberra! Still open Friday and Saturday.

Drone-in-a-box was going wild at @XPONENTIALshow Europe, and it’s about time!
DIAB aims to put drones anywhere they can be connected, to be operated remotely in centralised locations. Here’s a selection of pics of systems on display at #XPoEurope2024 to inspire your imagination.

Coolest thing at #XPo: #DefendEye, a tube-launched, disposable, AI search drone.
249g, 10 minutes, eyes in the sky with image detect on board with smartphone cameras. Easy to put it back in the case and then it charges by USB.

2nd Coolest thing at #XPo: #RheinBahn autonomous bus.
Driven (pun intentional) by a bus driver shortage, #RheinBahn of Germany is leaning into autonomous public transport buses. They’re 50% more expensive than a standard bus, but they’re needed, so the business case is strong.

Two 🇦🇺's in a European sea of 250 passionate #drone experts... Filipe and I representing #AAUS #UNSWCanberra #QUT and #CASA at the #EuropeanDroneForum2025 #EDF2025 with #UAVDACH and #AUVSI #XPONENTIAL Europe!

Proud to have represented #AAUS and #UNSWCanberra at the #AUVSI #XPONENTIAL Europe in #Dusseldorf!

Two great 🇦🇺 companies here exhibiting: #CubePilot and #HargraveTech - some of the best GNC and e-powertrain tech on the market!

Will AI take our jobs? An interesting paradox in bus driving…
I was at #XPONENTIAL Europe recently and took the opportunity to look into the #Rheinbahn AI buses being developed here in Europe.

3rd Coolest thing at #XPONENTIAL Europe: #CASEVAC drone from 🇩🇪’s #AVILUS. They’re already into 10’s of hours of flight test. Game-changing for Mass Casualty #MassCas events in the future.

My time as the #AusAirForce Fellow to the @ASPI-org is done: What a year! What an experience!

In the same week I wrapped up, the findings of the Varghese report have come out. One recommendation was that there should be more secondments between departments and think tanks...

I got my letter today, on Christmas Eve: now officially a Graduate of the Australian Institute of Company Directors #CompanyDirectorsCourse. Proud because it was the best course I've done in years!

Last week at the @NSWBusiness #SydneyDroneSummit I heard from @WarintheFuture , @OleksandraUNSW, @yurasak and @aaus_live industry, for 140 attendees, about the critical role of #drones and the International Drone Coalition.
Big issues, huge opportunities.

At #DHSS2024 I briefed on FPV #DroneRacing, it's current high requirement for human interaction and skills, and where that tech needs to head into the future.

Proud: LTCOL Matt Chapman. I was his first boss, promoted him to CAPT and yesterday had the pleasure to be part of his promotion to LTCOL. I've learnt a lot from this insanely clever young man and know his impact going forward will be significant!

Helping #BZV bring these discussions into the dual- use start-up community was a real pleasure.

our best chance of generating deterence symmetry, and then asymmetric advantage.
👊 The geostrat environment is concerning. Russian use of IRBM in the last 24h is a good example. Development of counters to that advanced tech are really important.

of CNC, AM, 3D print farms, etc were able to be used across the start-up/prototyping eco-system 24/7/365.
👊 Prioritise the tech areas where we 🇦🇺 (and 🇳🇿) already have a global advantage and amp those up: hypersonics, Uncrewed Systems, EW, quantum, space. This'll give us...

Really great to contribute to discussions of #innovation in defence & space tech at the #TEN13vc #Runway event today. My comments:
👊 Advanced manufacturing hubs in regional locations to support tech start-ups would yield a net saving as we could ensure that the highest end...

Great event #FlightTest Society of Australia and #AusAirForce: Australian #FlightTest Symposium at #UQ! Half the agenda was #UAS/#Uncrewed/#RPAS: So #AvGeek/#UASGeek!

A real honour to brief the Australian #FlightTest Symposium at #UQ with #AusAirForce discussing 20 years of #UAS test, lessons learned and themes from that moving forward.

Another really great #MilCIS was #MilCIS2024: excellent show floor from industry & everyone (start-ups through to primes) willing to have a yarn about #AUKUSPillar2 🇦🇺🇬🇧🇺🇲tech's! Only one #drone/#UAS on display 🫣.
