The JSF Industry Advisory Council (JIAC) was established to provide advice to Government and industry on strategies to ensure maximum Australian industrial and technological participation in the JSF Program and the global supply chains of Lockheed Martin, its partners and sub-contractors.
The JIAC is led by industry, and is chaired by Mr Ken Peacock. Industry members were selected for their knowledge, experience and contribution on broad industry issues, with membership represented by all relevant sectors of the Australian Aerospace Industry and the Departments of Innovation, Industry, Science and Research and Defence, as outlined below:
