Australian Made & Deployed
Remember the term "Australia - the clever country", well it looks like the current state of world affairs is spurring our intellectual might into end results.
Here is one example and there have been considerably more than one, it just takes - so damn long - to get things to happen - unless its mining - in which case it basically happens overnight.

Kongsberg Defence Australia (KDAu) has joined the Australian Made Campaign, carrying the green and gold kangaroo on its locally produced Naval Strike Missile (NSM) launcher systems. Kongsberg Defence Australia is manufacturing the NSM launchers utilising numerous Australian made components, which are being built and tested in its production and maintenance facility in Mawson Lakes, South Australia.
The launcher canisters are supplied by advanced composite manufacturing company, Aerobond Defence, and complex precision machined components for the launcher are manufactured by QPE Advanced Machining, both based in Adelaide. The launcher frame and rail assemblies are provided by Victoria-based Marand, with other machined components manufactured by another local Victorian company.
Managing Director John Fry said the move highlights Kongsberg Defence Australia’s growing role in KONGSBERG’s Global Supply Chain, and confirms its commitment to local manufacturing. “The Australian Made logo reflects the skills and capability of our local industry. We are proud that world-class Defence capability is being built right here in Australia, for both the Australia Defence Force and our international partners.”
Now all we have to do is increase our strategic throw
