The author argues Australia should develop road-mobile ballistic missile capabilities via partnerships with Israel or South Korea. These systems would enhance deterrence by providing long-range, survivable strike options under conditions of strategic uncertainty.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Understand the strategic value of sovereign long-range strike options for national defence.
  • Evaluate feasibility, partnerships, and integration challenges of new missile systems.
  • Inform ADF planning for capability autonomy and deterrence posturing.
