Secure Australia 2025

Redefining Security: Navigating the Future of AI, Robotics & Autonomous Systems

The world order has shifted, and we now face an era of unprecedented uncertainty. Distance is no longer a deterrent, and Australia’s vast geography and northern exposure pose critical security challenges. Traditional crewed systems are costly to scale, but AI, robotics, and autonomous systems provide a faster, more cost-effective solution. With over $10 billion in government investment, Australia must lead in these technologies to maintain a strategic advantage.
However, the path to leadership is complex—navigating integration, interoperability, cybersecurity, electronic warfare, ethics, sovereign capability, and supply chains will be crucial.
