About
The Department of Defence is the Australian Government department responsible for defence policy, capability acquisition, and support to the Australian Defence Force. It is a major buyer of uncrewed and autonomous maritime systems, recently announcing a hull-agnostic modular payload architecture to be integrated across Anduril's Ghost Shark and C2 Robotics' Speartooth unmanned underwater vehicles and Ocius's Bluebottle unmanned surface vessel. Through programs of this kind, it acts as a key government customer and integrator shaping Australia's autonomous defence ecosystem.
