AUKUS Pillar 2 is an important step toward accelerating the capabilities our nations need.
Dive-XL was built from day one so that the U.S., Australia, and the U.K. militaries can rapidly integrate and deploy advanced autonomous undersea capabilities and developing payloads. Right now, we are doing just that in all three AUKUS countries.
AUKUS represents the biggest leap in Australia's military capability in more than a century and we are delivering it alongside our close partners — the United States and the United Kingdom.
Great to meet with Secretary Hegseth and Secretary Healey in Singapore for our AUKUS Defence Ministers’ Meeting.
Today, we welcomed a significant milestone under AUKUS Pillar Two, which is focused on advanced capabilities, with the first “Signature Project” under our partnership — working together to develop interoperable and shared systems for Uncrewed Undersea Vehicles, like Australia’s sovereign Ghost Shark.
