Go-it-alone Cobham looks to resource sector boost

The outlook is looking more positive for Cobham Aviation Services Australia, now an autonomous division within the large British defence and aerospace group, Cobham Plc, thanks to what it regards as “green shoots” in its valuable resources industry operations.

It is also gaining new roles within its Australian Maritime Safety Authority contract in areas such as bushfire and police surveillance, and co-operative work with South Pacific nations.
