Working with Government to Sustain Sovereign Industrial Base

Northrop Grumman Australia Advisory Board Chairman, Warren King and Australian Minister for the Defence Industry, the Hon Steven Chiobo, signed a certificate at Avalon on 28 February marking the company’s first Australian Industry Capability (AIC) Deed.

The AIC Deed establishes a framework to deliver real opportunities for Australian industry in major defence programmes, in particular the MQ-4C TRITON programme for the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF). Northrop Grumman is committed to working with government to develop the highly-skilled workforce required to build a sustainable, sovereign industrial base. The company will continue to assist small- and medium-size enterprises to deliver innovative capabilities and technologies to a global market.
