In this episode, Grant McHerron talks with Greg Barsby, Managing Director at QinetiQ, about flight test ranges, facilities and test & evaluation in general.

We start off by discussing the wide range of services that QinetiQ provides throughout Australia, the UK, and the USA. We explore how QinetiQ performs research and maintains facilities for testing a multitude of military ordnance solutions. 

Greg also gives us insights into how they deliver the variety of outcomes that defence needs, collaborate internationally whilst still maintaining compartmentalisation, and how they are integrating their recent acquisition Air Affairs into the company.

We wrap up by discussing how QinetiQ is addressing the challenges surrounding the recruitment and retention of talent in the Defence industry.
