Rather than a lobby group, ADIESA is an in- dustry association that aims to facilitate col- laboration between Defence and Industry, pro- moting Australian Defence Industry capability. For Defence, it provides a single organisation that represents industry to offer feedback, the latest technological advancements, inno- vation, and limitations. For Industry, it allows targeted research, personnel development, better understanding of Defence’s intent and specific requirements, and ultimately focus their investment in being more relevant to De- fence’s future. This is especially important for Australian small business who may struggle to engage with senior Defence executives. ADIESA benefits both parties equally. A critical element of ADIESA’s strategy is the formation of strong relationships with senior Defence officials in all areas of information and electronic research, development, pro- curement, and support. It provides opportu- nities for member companies to engage early in the force development process through: joint Defence and industry dinners, and net- working functions, information sessions, the C4ISREW Environmental Working Group (co- sponsored by ADIESA), and Focus Groups. Focus Groups are established and concluded based on Defence requirements, currently in- cluding: • Enterprise architecture (EA) • Joint Command and Control (JC2) • Intelligence Surveillance & Reconnaissance (ISR) • Satellite Communications (SATCOM) ments. Our independence is critical to our work and reputation and has been demon- strated by our work for almost twenty years of active research, publishing and commentary. Sponsorship opportunities include, but are not limited to: Long and short form publica- tions, Strategic Forums, Workshops, Semi- nars, Conferences, Masterclasses, Public Events, Webinars, Podcast epi-sodes and contributions to The Strategist, ASPI’s com- mentary and analysis site (subject to ASPI’s editorial processes).
