The Eggler Institute of Technology’s founder was honored at the Australian Federal Parliament earlier this week.
The Hon Luke Gosling MP emphasized the critical role that the Bushmaster vehicle has played in assisting Ukraine’s defense efforts, with Australia donating 90 Bushmasters so far. Luke highlighted that “the Bushmaster would not have seen the light of day… without Lt. Col. (retired) Mark Eggler, ADF Program Manager and Senior Systems Engineer” and stated it was due to Mark Eggler’s dogged determination that ensured the once troubled project was not cancelled.
The Bushmaster vehicle is now recognized globally as one of the world’s best protected mobility vehicles. The Bushmaster vehicle has saved countless Australian and allied soldiers lives over the past decade and continues to do so today. Well done Mark and thank you for your service!
