• Strong relationship with the Simulation Industry
  Association of Australia (Especially for
  SimTecT).
• Industry membership on Defence Simulation Forum
  (SIAA Chairman).
• Simulation Minors program.
• Major and other Minor Projects.
• Estimate at least 3b invested in simulation.

What Does Industry Expect of Defence?

• Vision, development path, clarity of needs
• Chance to orient themselves to apply hard-won
  resources effectively to defence questions
• Stronger simulation role across the spectrum of
  defence activities
• Coherence and sustained opportunities

Key Roadmap themes

• Simulation is widespread and simulation is about
  people
• Some technical challenges but these are not
  insurmountable
• Big simulation issues are not technological
• Culture of Defence regarding simulation has to
  change to maximise its value
• Increased engagement of industry and academia
  required to develop Defence simulation.

What does Defence need from Industry?
15

• Your hearts and minds
• Your role in whole of nation defence
• Engage collaboratively, early in requirements
  exploration
• Provide suitable products to support decision
  making for
• Employing the force
• Developing the force
• Consistency and Coherence
• Your innovation
• Feedback (Update 12 mths)

Summary

• ADSO internet website for external access
• Roadmap success is dependant on you to
• Understand the intent of the shared Defence
  objectives it describes, and
• Shape actions to improve the consistency and
  coherence of your simulation activities within
  its broad guidance.
• Stronger industrial voice in collaborating and
  shaping defence simulation.
• Expect at least 1.2b investment in simulation
  over next ten years.
