Why Australia?
A smaller allied market. A real need for new capability. A country that wants to move faster.
For allied neoprimes, Australia should be on the map.
Australia has always fought with allies.
For more than a century, Australia has fought alongside its closest partners.
From the world wars to Korea, Vietnam, the Middle East and today’s Indo-Pacific, Australian security has always been tied to allied strength.
That has not changed.

The fight changed.
Modern conflict is moving faster.
Software, autonomy, drones, sensors, electronic warfare and AI can create an advantage without relying only on bigger platforms or bigger forces.
The companies building that capability are changing too.
Australia has a different problem.
Australia has a small population, a large continent and a huge region to help secure.
We cannot solve every problem with scale.
We need technology that helps us see further, move faster, operate with fewer people and create an asymmetric edge.
DISTANCE
A huge region to monitor and defend.
MASS
Australia cannot rely on numbers alone.
SPEED
Capability needs to move faster.
ASYMMETRY
Technology has to create the advantage.
Australia wants to move faster.
The Defence Strategic Review made the direction clear.
Australia needs greater urgency, stronger deterrence, more asymmetric capability and closer cooperation with industry and allies.
The old pace is not enough for the environment Australia now faces.
01MOVE EARLIER
Do not wait for the capability gap to become a crisis.
02TRY NEW THINGS
Emerging technology needs a path to be tested and understood.
03WORK WITH INDUSTRY
New capability will come from companies outside the traditional model.
04BUILD WITH ALLIES
Australia does not have to solve every problem alone.
Why should a neoprime care?
Your home market does not have to be your only path.
Australia is smaller, allied, strategically important and looking for new ways to create capability.
If you have built something that can change the fight, Australia is another place to prove it, build around it and create momentum.
