Three nations. One purpose.
Forged by the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia, AUKUS stands as a groundbreaking trilateral defense partnership committed to enhancing security and stability in the Indo-Pacific region.
A century of unity, a future of prosperity
The AUKUS enhanced security partnership signifies a strategic move for Australia to acquire a conventionally-armed, nuclear-powered submarine (SSN) capability.
Positioned to fortify security in the Indo-Pacific, AUKUS is more than just a defense pact; it represents a commitment to global peace, sustainability, and shared growth. Rooted in a century-old alliance, AUKUS is designed to defend against adversaries and uphold principles of freedom, human rights, and the rule of law.
AUKUS’ phased strategy
AUKUS enhances collaboration, technology integration, and the reinforcement of Australia's submarine force with key initiatives that include:
The U.S. is selling three Virginia-class submarines to Australia to replace its current fleet of Collins-class submarines set to retire in the 2030s.
Joint British-Australian production and operation for the innovative SSN-AUKUS submarine class.
A trilaterally created submarine, combining technology from all three nations and utilizing the U.K.’s next-gen design.
We believe in a world that protects freedom and respects human rights, the rule of law, the independence of sovereign states, and the rules-based international order.”
The U.S. Navy's mission to build next-gen submarines calls for an expansion of our workforce by 100,000 skilled individuals.
AUKUS further amplifies this need.
