Future bases: Defence industry embraces remote design and infrastructure collaboration
June 20, 2025
Louisa Bloomer and Tony Rogers talk with Defence Connect about tech integration, managing remote teams, and balancing innovation with security
As Australia¡¯s Defence Force transforms to meet the demands of a rapidly evolving strategic environment, the nation¡¯s defence estate is becoming more complex, more interconnected¡ªand more digitally independent. The need to design and deliver critical infrastructure for the Australian Defence Force across a vast geographic footprint has never been more urgent. But with opportunity comes complexity, Ãë²¥ tells Defence Connect.
From naval bases in Western Australia to training grounds in Queensland, the spread of Australia¡¯s Defence infrastructure has introduced significant logistical challenges. But it¡¯s not just about transporting people and materials. The increasingly common practice of using distributed workforce models¡ªwhere infrastructure design teams are spread across cities, countries, and continents¡ªhas created a new virtual environment.
