Building a more potent, capable and agile Defence sector with JVAT’s bespoke risk, assurance management and systems as well as design engineering capabilities. The Defence sector faces disruption on multiple fronts: increasing tactical competition, enhanced regional engagement, and greater potential for military miscalculation.
