AUKUS
Abstract
This program supports the Department’s initiatives to: (1) deter strategic attacks against the United States, and its Allies and partners; (2) deter aggression while being prepared to prevail in conflict when necessary; and (3) build enduring advantages for the future Joint Force. Specifically, the Enhanced Trilateral Security Partnership among Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States (AUKUS) will deepen defense capability and technological cooperation by developing and providing joint advanced military capabilities to promote security and stability in the Indo-Pacific region. This program provides funding to pursue operationally relevant advanced capability co-development, support integration of multi-national capabilities to act as a force multiplier, and test and evaluate promising solutions found across the AUKUS innovation ecosystem. The program portfolio aligns with the critical technology areas and operational requirements. The intent is to consider proposals submitted from the DoD Components and industry and academia partners. The appropriate leadership will select proposals using a merit-based process that identifies the most promising solutions to operational challenges with an emphasis on transitioning technologies to current or future programs of record.
