In this episode of #DefenceDeconstructed, we sit down with Jordan Miller, to discuss his upcoming policy perspective titled "Shifting Defence from Procurement to Production." We discuss the proposed defence procurement agency and the eagerly awaited defence industrial strategy, and how they can best deliver the military the capabilities it needs in a sustainable way. We cover what it means to shift to a defence production focus, venture capital investments in defence, and how the public sector can make the necessary transformation.
