Seventy-four participants from nine partner nations and three international organizations have gathered in Brisbane, Australia, to collaborate on Nimble Titan 20, an integrated air and missile defense campaign of experimentation.

The event, held Nov. 4-8 by the Australian Defence Department, provides a premier forum for allied and partner nations to explore policy imperatives and operational strategies for integrated missile defense.

The keynote speaker was Air Commodore ‘Micka’ Gray, director general, Advanced and Strategic Capabilities for the Australian Defence Department’s Force Integration Division.
