What this report covers
Technologies: Hypersonics & Advanced Missile Systems. A sourced, structured 5-page analysis for European defence and dual-use decision-makers, from the DFM research desk and built on official and primary sources.
About this report
The 2025 edition of Exercise Talisman Sabre has marked a significant evolution in the logistical and operational posture of the Australian Defence Force (ADF) within the Indo-Pacific. During the exercise, the ADF successfully conducted two rearmament operations of the Royal Canadian Navy's HMCS Ville de Québec at the Port of Darwin, equipping the vessel with RGM-84 Harpoon Block II anti-ship missiles.
These activities signal more than technical capability: they reflect the emergence of northern Australia as a forward logistics base capable of supporting allied naval operations in a contested strategic environment.

- How did the 2025 Exercise Talisman Sabre demonstrate northern Australia's emergence as a forward logistics base?
