AUKUS Unpacked: Navigating constraints and delivery in the Indo-Pacific

With the Indo-Pacific region emerging as a new frontier in geopolitics, defence and operational contractors are quickly learning how to navigate the opportunities and challenges ahead.

The region stretches from North America’s western coast to the eastern shores of Africa incorporating vast cultural, political and geographic diversity. That diversity, combined with the AUKUS alliance involving Australia, the UK and the US, means it is a highly complex area in which to operate.

In this Q&A, Austability’s former Senior Vice President of Global Operations, Robert ‘RJ’ Jennings, speaks with our Vice President of Marketing and Communications, John Thompson, about how suppliers and operational support providers can navigate this environment leveraging emerging technology, navigating local culture and ways of working, and building diverse and capable teams.
