Meeting the technical challenges of sovereign capability in Defence supply

Anyone operating in the Australasian Defence sector is cognisant of the geopolitical instability and disruption of supply chains that threaten the South Pacific today.

As governments prepare to address these issues and those of sovereign capability, local Defence manufacturers are met with the challenges of bringing manufacturing onshore and implementing Defence regulatory standards. Simultaneously, these challenges represent considerable opportunity for local manufacturers to develop business operations and employ more modern manufacturing techniques.

In this whitepaper, we will cover:

• Recent events and developments that are propelling the need for sovereign capability in Australasia and the measures governments are taking to address them
• The technical solutions that will enable industry to support sovereign capability, with a focus on Product Data Management and Computer Aided Manufacturing
• A case study from Romar Engineering, who streamlined their production model with Computer Aided Manufacturing
