4th Australian JSF Advanced Technology and Innovation Conference

In November 2009 the Australian Government formally approved procurement of the first 14 F-35 Joint Strike Fighters (JSF) for the Royal Australian Air Force as a future component of Australian Defence Force capability.

A key objective of the Australian Government in joining the JSF Program is to achieve a significant involvement by Australian industry in the development, production, support and follow-on development of JSF aircraft.

To that end, and with the intent to better position Australian industry, research and technology to engage in the JSF follow-on development process, the New Air Combat Capability project will host the 4th Australian JSF Advanced Technology and Innovation Conference to be held in Melbourne from 3-4 May 2010.

As in previous conferences, the 2010 Conference will encompass national and international perspectives and include advanced technology presentations from Australian industry, universities and other R&D organisations. The JSF Program Office and major JSF contractors are also again being invited to submit plenary papers related to their perceived technology requirements for a future JSF. On Wednesday 5 May 2010 workshops relating to specialist industry areas of current interest will be held to determine how best to provide a focus for JSF activities at the national level.

If you have any queries please contact Dr Bruce Brown at Bruce.Brown@defence.gov.au or visit www.jsfconference.gov.au for more details.
