Periscope Capital Partners to deploy $1 billion of private capital into Defence in the next decade
In this episode, Grant McHerron and Ewen Levick talk with Mark Stevens, Managing Partner of Periscope Capital Partners and Managing Director of Arican, about Periscope and private capital for Defence industry.
We kick off the discussion by reviewing the difficulties the industry faces when trying to access private capital, and Mark gives us an overview of the goals of Periscope Capital Partners to raise and deploy $1 billion in the next decade. With this context in mind, we get a detailed breakdown of how they differ from other funds, their upcoming launch, and the factors that contribute to the selection of small to medium enterprises (SME’s) for their investments. The discussion moves onto how investors have been deterred from Defence due to the misinterpretation of Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) issues, and their lack of knowledge about the industry, as well as how the government has reacted to their private equity initiatives.
We wrap up by breaking down how the investment model must be adjusted for Defence, with considerations on relationships with Government, fast tracking acquisitions, and building an investment ecosystem for the industry.

No place for the 'small, smart, and many' in the Surface Fleet Review
In this episode, Grant McHerron and Ewen Levick talk with Michael Shoebridge, Founder and Director of Strategic Analysis Australia, about the government’s recently released response to the Surface Fleet Review and other topics.
We start off with Michael’s first impressions on the Surface Fleet Review, with concerns surrounding its lack of funding, outdated focus on going big, and delays in delivery. We get further insights into how Australian Defence’s sovereign risk has increased due to many contracts for major platforms not being honoured. The discussion also explores how the ‘small, smart, and many’ has outweighed the ‘large, strong, and few’, with examples drawn from the conflict from Ukraine. We also assess the challenges with American supplied missiles and the use of Large Optionally Crewed Surface Vessels (LOSVs, aka "missile trailers") to supplement those on the destroyers and frigates.
Throughout this discussion, we also explore the complacency of Defence during non-war periods, the importance of diversity in the weapons portfolio, and how weapons choices can restrict frigate design. We wrap up by assessing how buying ready made ships could result in successful and prompt delivery.

The ADF's adoption of Electromagnetic Spectrum Operations amidst lessons from Ukraine
In this episode, Grant McHerron talks with Phil Guy, Managing Director of Alkath Group, and David Devine, General Manager of Mellori Solutions, about Electromagnetic Spectrum Operations, or EMSO.
We get an overview of how the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum is used to transmit data for communication and navigations across multiple domains. We also get an insight into the possibility for the unification for the EM spectrum in the air, land, cyber, and space domains. The discussion provides an update on the ADF’s progress in adopting EMSO, the challenges that are being experienced in Ukraine, and the difficulties of simulating EMSO for training in the field.
We further explore the increased use of low cost EMSO devices such as drones and jammers before discussing the areas that the ADF needs to focus on to ensure they can conduct EMSO with effectively trained staff and effective systems to maintain dominance on the battlefield.

Indo-Pacific 2023 - Autonomous naval capabilities from Sentinel Boats and L3Harris
During Indo Pacific 2023, Grant McHerron talked with George McGuire, CEO of Sentinel Boats. We get an update following their recent delivery of their Sentinels to the NZ Navy equipped with a robust recyclable HDPE hull, which is highly durable, capable, and adaptable in emergency, industrial, and military environments. The discussion also explores their partnership with L3Harris to deploy autonomous capabilities on the Sentinel, which can provide scalability, surveillance, and sustainment.
Our second interview for this episode is with James Cowles, senior business development manager for L3Harris Autonomous Surface Vessels. We discuss the autonomous vessels being demonstrated at Indo Pacific 2023, explore their work with the UK Royal Navy to deploy ISR and mine hunting capabilities, and gain an insight into the levels of automation, navigation and payloads currently in use internationally.

Indo-Pacific 2023 - Anduril's Ghost Shark and an Aegis Update from Lockheed Martin
During Indo Pacific 2023, Grant McHerron was able to meet with David Goodrich OAM, Executive Chairman & Chief Executive at Anduril Australia & Asia Pacific, and Dr Shane Arnott, Senior Vice President Engineering at Anduril Industries. We discuss their Ghost Shark program that is utilising a number of local suppliers to deliver Australian developed autonomous undersea vehicles, and their focus on autonomous systems that complement rather than replace humans in Defence.
Our second interview is with Liam Catterson, business development manager at Lockheed Martin Australia, about the Aegis system. We discuss the development of the system, its integration into numerous operational environments, and its ability to link to vertical launching systems on land as well as sea. We wrap up by getting an insight into the future roadmap for Aegis within the ADF, with comparisons to the approach being taken by the US.

Indo-Pacific 2023 - Adjusting to the post DSR environment, with Schiebel Pacific and SYPAQ
During Indo Pacific 2023, Grant McHerron met with Fabian Knechtl, Managing Director of Schiebel Pacific, to discuss the impacts of the current government's delays to Project Sea 129 Phase 5 Block 1, and Schiebel Pacific's civilian work with their Camcopter system. We discuss how Schiebel is responding to the delay of Phase 5, their work with other navies in the Pacific, and the benefits that their autonomous Camcopter offers emergency services.
Our second interview for this episode is with Amanda Holt, CEO of SYPAQ, about their Corvo Precision Payload Delivery System successes, and the impacts to the Australian defence industry due to the government delaying important decisions. We discuss their progress following the launch of their flat pack cardboard drones, the response from civilians and Defence, and how diversification has secured SYPAQ's longevity following the DSR. We also review how the Defence industry needs to adjust their procurement and delivery styles to reduce risk and cost concerns.
