Making a technical contribution to Australia’s defence force – Ian Irving, Northrop Grumman

In this episode of the Defence Connect Podcast, Northrop Grumman’s Ian Irving reveals how he’ll align the business’ abilities with the Australian government’s initiative to further develop the country's defence force and sovereign capabilities. “We’re focused on doing things that are really the future of national security,” he explains. “Cyber security, C4I networking, fifth generation communications, unmanned systems and autonomous systems … these are really things that Australia hasn’t had available to it in the past.” Tune in as Irving shares his insight into the ways in which Northrop Grumman can make a technical contribution to the Australian Defence Force, as well as what industry insiders can do to “fly the flag” for defence to garner more interest in the industry at large.
