Defence and Industry

Key challenges

Australia is facing the most difficult defence circumstances that our region has seen in decades.

Unprecedented Defence challenges have been created by:

• Large scale conventional and non-conventional military build-up in the region
• Reduced warning time for conflict
• Economic coercion
• The wide effects of climate change.

The Australian Government recognises that security and stability need an internationally competitive and innovative domestic industry base. Industry is the incubator for advanced defence capability. Recently, the Government’s focus has shifted to a streamlined defence delivery model which prioritises value-for-money and timely capability acquisition. Australian industry content and domestic production is now balanced against these factors.
