Background of Industry Context
Defence is a global industry which manufactures and
market the weapons, tools and technologies that are used by
military. It involves operations like research and development,
production, engineering and servicing of military material,
facilities and equipments. The defence industry cover up
everything from land, air and sea capabilities to electronics as
well as cyber security for providing technology that help in
protecting nation from all over the world. The Australian
defence industry employ approx. 27000 people and supply its
product and services to Defence Material Organisations and
Australian Defence Force. It exports over A$750 million of
defence product and services to countries like US, New Zealand
and Europe as there is less requirement of such products as
well as technologies in Australia as government is infrequent in
upgrade and purchasing of such technologies (Australian
Defence Industry, 2019).
Challenges faced by industry with respect to specific issue
The defence industry works over providing number of
technology which Land, Sea and Air forces used in their wars

and other activities performed related with defence. The
players within Australian defence industry manufacture large
number of technologies and equipment that are used for
dealing within the wars. These help a lot in keeping the nation
safe by dealing with the attacks from enemies. But despite of
all these benefits and development there are number of issues
that are presented in from of defence industry within Australia.
One of those issues is that it is easier to manufacture
technologies related with defence but marketing of such
equipment is very difficult as the cost of such technology is
relatively higher (Martin, 2014). Hence, the major issue faced
by Australia Defence industry is that even though the demand
of Defence product is higher but still the Australian government
is relatively infrequent in term of purchasing, upgrading and
modifying its weapon used for defence. This in turn has
affected the networking of country's soldiers as they can work
more effectively with the help of new or upgraded system.
Because of this various challenges have been faced by the
Defence Industry such as,
 Lack of innovation development: Due to less demand
of upgraded technologies as well as equipment by

government in term of defence it become very difficult for
industry to grow higher. This is because due to less
demand of defence technology upgrading as well as new
product the players within the industry like Boeing
defence organisation, ASC Pty Ltd and many more leads to
minimise their manufacture regarding such product for
reducing cost. But this in turn may leads to affect the
capability of industry to more innovative and technically
advanced defence products which may affect the future
practices. This is because with the help of advanced
technologies Australian government can improve the
practices performed by its army or soldiers by working
over their networking through which soldiers interact with
one another. In addition to this they can also be able to
connect the system with soldiers so that can predict the
actions of enemy in advanced and take corrective actions.
This will happen because when demand is lower the high
skilled engineers started seeking new options to achieve
more career growth as a result of which industry may lose
competent engineers which may bring technological
