The Strategic Update replaces the Strategic Defence Framework set out in the 2016 Defence White Paper with three new strategic objectives:
- to shape Australia’s strategic environment,
- to deter actions against Australia’s interests; and
- to respond with credible military force, when required.
The Australian Defence Industry Base
The Centre for Defence Industry Capability (CDIC) supports Australian businesses entering or working in the defence industry. The CDIC:
- helps businesses navigate the defence market
- provides specialist advice on improving competitiveness and accessing global markets
- facilitates connections between businesses and Defence
- links Australian innovators and researchers to the Defence Innovation Hub and the Next Generation Technologies Fund
- undertakes sector-wide projects to support industry development
The CDIC is headquartered in Adelaide, with advisers and facilitators across all the states and territories to form a national advisory network. They are supported by AusIndustry’s outreach network, which extends the CDIC’s reach to regional areas.
The CDIC’s mission is to work with industry and Defence to build a world-class, globally competitive and sustainable Australian industry as a Fundamental Input to Capability. It partners with industry, Defence, and state and territory governments to combine knowledge and networks towards this goal.
Australia has a world class, technologically sophisticated defence industry sector offering innovative capability solutions to meet international requirements.
Australia has a proud history of designing, manufacturing and adapting world class products to meet demanding military requirements. Australian defence industry sectors cover the aerospace, maritime, land, weapons and electronic systems domains.
Australian industry is flexible, responsive and customer focused. Australia’s business environment promotes competition and innovation to derive best value for money solutions.
