In September 2021, Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States announced AUKUS – a new security partnership that will promote a free and open Indo-Pacific that is secure and stable.
The AUKUS partnership involves two pillars, or related lines of effort.
AUKUS will provide Australia with a conventionally armed, nuclear-powered submarine capability, with a potential total project value of up to A$368 billion.
The submarine project will develop along the following pathway:
y Increased visits to Australian ports by United Kingdom Royal Navy and United States Navy nuclear-powered submarines
y Increased forward presence of United Kingdom Royal Navy and United States Navy nuclear-powered submarines to Australia
y Delivery of three Virginia class nuclear-powered submarines for the Royal Australian Navy from as soon as the early 2030s, with potential to acquire up to two more if needed
y Development, construction and delivery for the Royal Australian Navy of an advanced, nuclear-powered ‘SSN-AUKUS’ submarine, incorporating Australian, United Kingdom and United States technologies.
AUKUS will develop and provide joint advanced military capabilities to promote security and stability in the Indo-Pacific region.
y Undersea capabilities
y Quantum technologies
y Artificial intelligence and autonomy
y Advanced Cyber
y Hypersonic and counter-hypersonic capabilities
y Electronic warfare
y Innovation
y Information sharing
The Quad diplomatic partnership comprising Australia, India, Japan and the United States, is committed to supporting an open, stable and prosperous Indo-Pacific that is inclusive and resilient.
The Quad in numbers:
y 1.9 billion combined population
y US$ 34.8 trillion combined GDP
y 16% of global exports
y 20% of global imports
The Quad has a positive, practical agenda to respond to the region’s most pressing challenges, including:
y maritime security
y critical and emerging technology
y humanitarian assistance and disaster relief
y cyber security
y space
y health security
y climate change
y infrastructure
y countering disinformation
y counter-terrorism
The Quad diplomatic partnership promotes a shared approach to the region in the name of stability. However, it also offers a platform for bilateral cooperation to develop and exploit advanced technologies and broaden industry scope across international supply chains.
y Western Australia’s Gross State Product of $377.3 billion represents 17.5% share of the national economy.
y The State exported $223.3 billion of goods in the year to September 2022, which is 55.5% of national exports.
y It is in the same time zone as approximately a quarter of the world’s population, and consequently, it is a base for numerous multi-national companies.
y Western Australia is strategically located, as Australia’s gateway to the Indian Ocean, providing significant opportunities to maintain, sustain, enhance and develop defence assets and capabilities in the national interest.
y Western Australia, with its long-standing trade and industry relationships with Quad partners, is poised to be central to this security dialogue as it moves forward.
y The State is the home of Australia’s submarine fleet and the home of Australia’s largest naval base at HMAS Stirling.
y Under AUKUS, Western Australia is set to host a forward-deployed force of British and US nuclear-powered submarines from 2027 and will be the future home of Australia’s own nuclear-powered submarine fleet.
y Western Australia’s rapid, solutions-focused mining, oil and gas culture can be readily applied to the defence and security sectors, increasing sovereign capability.
y The Australian Marine Complex, located adjacent to HMAS Stirling, is a world-class centre of excellence in manufacturing, fabrication, assembly, technology, repair and maintenance activities for Defence.
y The State is the birthplace of Austal, Australia’s only sovereign prime and only non-US company that supplies principal combatant surface warships to the US Navy.
y Western Australia has world-leading expertise in developing and delivering undersea and uncrewed systems, autonomous technologies, remote operations, command and control systems and cyber security technology.
