Breaking Defence covered a new report by USSC Research Fellow Tom Corben and Senior Non-Resident Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute Dr William Greenwalt assessing the limitations of the AUKUS defence trade reforms.
AUKUS enablers? Assessing defence export control reforms in Australia and the United States argues that further reforms will be necessary to drive defence technology innovation under AUKUS Pillar II.
“Pillar Two, except for those [systems] with unique military technologies with unique military contractors, will be impossible to execute” under the current reforms, said Dr Greenwalt.
