Saab Technologies Australia
The defence industry is a user of many different skills sets and works well with many sub-suppliers to achieve certain targets. Due to the project related (lumpy) demand for electronic skills many local companies have re-skilled and branched into other industries. There is an ongoing requirement for local electronic design and manufacturing skills to support defence as well overseas companies such as Boeing, BAE, Airbus, Thales, etc.
