This paper discusses the future of RAN aerospace capabilities over the period 2020-30, examining developing technologies, their potential utilisation, and how the RAN can build a robust aerospace capability to ‘fight and win at sea’.
Russian naval strategy in the Pacific has a strong littoral-orientation, including defence of immediate maritime approaches to Russia’s Far Eastern shores, protection of economic interests, safeguarding maritime borders, and participation in diplo
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have been employed in a wide range of operational roles since the 1960s, in both lethal and non-lethal operations.
This paper outlines the issues and challenges faced by RAN staff in developing and implementing a surface-to-air guided weapon capability for Australia during the 1960s.
This article introduces the maxims, or principles, of military actions as seen by French emperor Napoleon Bonaparte during the Napoleonic Wars (1803-1815) and brings them into a High-End War Fighting (HEWF) and Force 2030 context.
Effects Based Operations (EBO) and parallel warfare concepts have proven to be a highly effective approach to securing control of the air and denying an enemy force freedom to manoeuvre in a battle-space.
This paper addresses the restraints medium sized navies inherently face and the subsequent impact these have on fleet technology, size and structure.
Exercise TALISMAN SABRE saw the certification of the Amphibious Readiness Group (ARG) and the LHD capability at Full Operational Capability (FOC). This magnificent achievement is the culmination of a decade of work, years in which we have developed a truly world-class joint amphibious capability and an understanding of how we will use it when the moment arrives.
Australia is a maritime nation reliant on trade. Sea Lines of Communication (SLOC) directly affect our economy, our resources and our concomitant ability to field and sustain a credible maritime deterrent.
