AUKUS Challenges and Opportunities: How AUKUS Pillar Two Could Help Deter Chinese Aggression
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 жов 2024
- Even before its first submarine is delivered, the AUKUS agreement among Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States is a qualified success. By breaking down technology-sharing barriers and implementing allied training and concept development, AUKUS has already improved the ability of American and allied militaries to sustain a free and open Indo-Pacific. However, the hard part of the agreement is still to come. Delays in establishing maintenance facilities in Western Australia, Canberra’s resistance to buying US submarines, and budget shortfalls could make AUKUS more rhetoric than reality.
AUKUS Pillar Two, which focuses on new technologies such as uncrewed systems, electromagnetic warfare, quantum computing, and hypersonic weapons, offers a path to sustain the momentum behind AUKUS and gain advantages over potential aggressors like China.
Join Senior Fellow Bryan Clark, MITRE Director for Integrated Deterrence Dr. Chris Bassler, and Strategic Analysis Australia Head of Research Marcus Hellyer for a discussion about AUKUS Pillar Two and the opportunities it holds for sustainable allied force design and deterrence.

Wow!
A Brit-hating Australian. Who'd have thought it?!
Amazed that he managed to stop himself from calling us Poms!
And as for his know-it-all posturing, BAe Systems & Rolls-Royce are at the cutting edge of technology, which 🇦🇺 is going to benefit from. And if he thinks that SSN-AUKUS is not going to embrace unmanned systems technology, he needs to look at BAe Systems Tempest project involving 🇮🇹 & 🇯🇵.
Great discussion.AUKUS seems to be the sort of defense pact that is very suited for the changing nature of defense asset development. It has am improvisation and technological aspect that is different to historic alliances. Bringing in Japan would be a good move, and will help kick off more weapons development. Being closer to China gives them an urgency to getting things done that the whole pact can benefit from.
Because pissing off your biggest trading partner is win-win, right? China wants to do business with you, not start a war. I think Australia is seeing things in terms of cultural affiliation rather than economic; the USA is far closer culturally than China, so they tend to take their side in things, even when its to their own detriment. And, so, when the USA comes and says "Hey, we'd like if you did some things to really piss China off" Australia is like "Alright, mate, show us where to poke them!"
China has been operating very aggressively towards Australia...this keeps the Chinese honest...lol
@@djblame8954 and the USA is always twisting the arms of its 'allies', pretty aggressive treatment on its own part. China does more business, benefits the regional economies a lot more.
You’re really out here praising China while having an Uyghur UA-cam playlist 😂
@@devonlord99 not praise, just the reality of life, something which the USA seems to be insulated from. If the US economy was a bit less about war and chaos, maybe they could be a better influence on the world. But as it is, talking down China is just hypocrisy.
Australia don’t have meaningful technology. Korea is much more useful in terms of industrial capacities and 4th revolutionary technology R&D. Korea have surpassed Japan, alAustralia in these area.
