How do you rebuild sovereign #SATCOM manufacturing capability - and where does the workforce come from? At #MilCIS2025, ADM spoke with Evan Kirk of Av-Comm Space & Defence about the company’s shift from #satellite system integration to local manufacturing of #groundstation hardware. The discussion also explored the Space Tradies program, which retrains trade-qualified workers into SATCOM installation and sustainment roles as demand for Australian ground infrastructure continues to grow. Evan highlighted the role Australian-made systems can play in resilience, as well as the satisfaction of working on infrastructure that underpins navigation, communications and data we rely on every day. 🎥 Watch the interview: https://lnkd.in/gSRDMnqm #MilCIS2025 #AvComm #SpaceTradies #SovereignCapability #DefenceIndustry #WorkforceDevelopment

How do teams keep up when bid timelines continue to shorten? And how do organisations maintain consistency and quality when proposal writing sits alongside competing priorities? At #MilCIS2025 in Canberra, ADM spoke with Rafael Garcia-Krailing, COO Asia Pacific at AutogenAI, about how #AI can support proposal and tender response workflows across both large primes and emerging suppliers. Raf discussed areas where organisations are seeing the most value, including draft-speed acceleration, consistency in tone, improved document retrieval, and embedding AI as part of a repeatable workflow rather than a one-off tool. 🎥 Watch the interview: https://lnkd.in/gDw5cGDF #MilCIS2025 #AutogenAI #Tenders #Proposals #Procurement #DigitalTransformation #DefenceIndustry
