Strategic Defense Review 2023
On April 24,2023, the Australian government released the Strategic Defence Review (SDR), an update to the 2016 Defence White paper charting the course of the Australian Defence Force as they upgrade, expand and shape their defense for the next several decades. Australia must enhance their Navy's lethality - including through its surface fleet and conventionally-armed, nuclear-powered submarines - underpinned by a continuous naval shipbuilding program.
With this directive, Australia will continue to be in the Maritime/Defense spotlight for the foreseeable future as AUKUS continues to play a major role as explained in the SDR including the expansion of maritime and defense opportunities for US companies seeking sales and partnerships in Australia. This inclusive document offers an executive briefing which can be found on pages 18-21.

News
Lyons-Burt, Charles. "This New State Department Reform Just Made Selling Weapons to UK, AUS Easier". GovCon Wire, 4 September 2024
"In an era where the U.S. is increasingly interested in sharing the offerings of its defense industrial base with allies, bureaucratic red tape is sometimes the only thing standing in the way of making foreign military sales—FMS for short. Defense News reported in mid-August that if major allies like the U.K. and Australia wanted to procure weapons from the U.S., they would have to subject themselves to a complicated application that could take over a month to be approved. In the heat of a conflict scenario especially, this could be too long a wait."
