Quickstep says it will use the funds raised to acquire equipment for its North Coogee production facility. The company signed a memorandum of understanding with Marand Engineering and Lockheed Martin in November, which is expected to turn into a long term production agreement by March 2010 to produce 21 parts for the JSF.
