SUMMARY:2025 TAK-HACK Hackathon
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to TAKHACK 2025 where big ideas meet real-world Defence problems.\nThis is not just another hackathon. It’s a call to creators\, coders\, tinkerers\, and tactical minds to solve a challenge that matters. \nThis year’s mission is grounded in a single question: \n“How might we use ATAK to better enable allied warfighters to deconflict offensive support assets and gain better situational awareness during the dynamic clearance of a large urban structure?” \nIn everyday terms\, can you build a plugin or application that helps a 30-person team safely and effectively search every room in a shopping centre\, stadium\, or airport for threats or people needing help? \nTAKHACK is your chance to work side-by-side with Defence advisors\, frontline operators\, technologists\, and mission-driven mentors to explore ATAK (or CivTAK) ‘s capabilities\, push your creativity\, and deliver something that could have a real operational impact. \nThis is a weekend to learn fast\, build smart\, and step into a mission bigger than yourself. \nWelcome to the challenge. We’re glad you’re here \n \nRegister you Expression of Interest to participate here: APPLY TO PARTICIPATE \n  \nTo learn more about the TAK-HACK click HERE \n  \n‘Hacking the Human Machine Interface for Military and First Responders!’

SUMMARY:Breach Point PERTH 2024
DESCRIPTION:Breach Point by Beaten Zone \nJoin us in Perth in the Lobby of Parmelia Hilton\, 191 St Georges Terrace\, for an informative session about entering the US defence market with various experts and participants. Steve Baxter from Beaten Zone Ventures will host the panel discussion along with Panelists Judd McCann from Akana Ittatoba\, Robert Dane from Ocius Technology\, Greg Whitehouse from VESPIIA and Dan Evangelisti from Orbital UAV to discuss the multiple ways\, pitfalls\, lessons learned\,and success paths into the US DoD market. \nThe US DoD budget is ~USD$870B compared to ~USD$32B for the Australian DoD budget. Even if the Australian DoD was the perfect customer\, a much larger Allied market exists. The reality is that generally\, the fastest way to get technology into the hands of ADF Warfighters is to sell it to the US DoD and then have it come back here through FMS or direct sale from a US Vendor. \nThe US has more than 12\,000 taxation jurisdictions and is a free market economy with very little in common with our home market. \nThis session is about sharing different ways to think about this market\, the terms\, terminology\, timeframes\, methods and more to help you succeed in the US. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDisclaimer: This event will be run under the ‘Chatham House’ rule. No filming or recording is permitted\, but photos and social media posts are encouraged. \nIf you attend this event\, you agree to be photographed and those photographs published on social media by Beaten Zone and affiliated Organisations. If you wish not to be photographed\, please inform Beaten Zone staff\, and we will do our upmost to honour this. \n  \nREGISTER VIA EVENTBRITE \n  \n
