Mick Handsworth Woon

Based in Adelaide with a legal background. I've spent years reading contracts, regulation and procurement documents, and before law I worked in law enforcement, where I learned to follow a paper trail. I started OTI in December 2025 because nobody was connecting maritime autonomy, defence procurement and ocean materials in one place. One argument runs through every edition: the technology is rarely the constraint. Procurement doctrine, certification and institutional habit usually are.
