AMSO Benefits Australian defence industry provides leading-edge capability solutions to military requirements in Australia and abroad across the maritime, land, aerospace, electronics, and weapons sectors. We provide opportunities to improve and enhance the ability of industry to promote and export these products, and for foreign governments or commercial customers to buy them. We do this by leveraging off our diplomatic relationships and international networks, to identify sales opportunities. We provide foreign governments with the ability to purchase new defence, or ex-adf equipment, under a G-to-G arrangement. This includes support throughout the sales process, including the provision of a dedicated Case Officer.

The AMSO is currently developing marketing materiel to provide our customers with information on products for sale to be released in mid-late 2014.
