About this report
The recent sequence of announcements on AUKUS, Australian defence reform and the Japan–Australia frigate contract indicates a deliberate reconfiguration of the Indo-Pacific security and industrial landscape.
In the space of a few months, Canberra has seen the completion of the Pentagon’s review of the nuclear-submarine partnership, has launched a major restructuring of its own acquisition machinery and has formalised the largest defence-industrial deal in its history with Tokyo.
Key questions this report answers
- How do the Pentagon's completed review of the AUKUS nuclear-submarine partnership and Australia's acquisition reform indicate a reconfiguration of the Indo-Pacific industrial landscape?
- What makes the Japan-Australia frigate contract the largest defence-industrial deal in Australia's history?
- How does Canberra's restructuring of its acquisition machinery connect to its deepening industrial axis with Tokyo?
- What strategic and supply-chain risks accompany Australia's simultaneous pursuit of AUKUS submarines and Japanese frigates?
Who it's for
