FRONT COVER IMAGE Hawkei vehicle designed and produced by Thales Bendigo, Victoria. Chair’s Foreword Victoria’s industry is a proven supplier of land equipment and systems. We are at the leading edge of innovation, engineering, design, manufacturing and research and development for land systems equipment, products and services. In particular, our success in the production and support of military vehicles, provision of systems integration services and the design and supply of soldier support systems and equipment is testimony to the proven capabilities of our industry. An essential element of our industry is our strong supply chain capabilities with many of our companies supporting and supplying products and services to domestic and international supply chains. The Government of Victoria, in partnership with the Australian Industry & Defence Network – Victoria, supports the Victorian Defence Alliance – Land Systems. Membership is open to all companies operating in Victoria with the potential to supply products and services into the domestic and international land systems market. The Alliance has been established to support the land systems industry in Victoria to win work in domestic and international land systems supply chains. It presents a single point of focus for companies supplying and sustaining land systems equipment and those providing support and services to that sector. The Alliance supports industry through advocacy, the provision of information on market opportunities and by establishing effective pathways for connecting Alliance members with industry primes and key Government stakeholders. It also provides opportunities for networking, collaboration and mentoring. The Alliance has around 300 member companies, with a significant number promoting their capabilities in this Brochure. I invite all those seeking proven and trusted partners for land systems industry work to consider the capabilities of our Alliance Members.
