About the Presentation
The Bushmaster, a protected mobility vehicle for the ADF developed in regional Victoria!
Imagine the technical challenges of designing a vehicle to transport fragile humans whilst being able to survive in a hostile combat environment. Thales will present on the design and manufacture of the protected mobility vehicles commissioned by the Australian Defence Force and overseas militaries. Their current production vehicle, The Bushmaster, operates in some of the most dangerous environments imaginable. The vehicles pictured above have proven time and time again to provide the necessary protection and mobility.
A great opportunity to learn about Australian military vehicles and to network!
Cost
$20 (includes a two course meal and the presentation, excludes drinks)
