BLUF

Australia’s Defence procurement is being overhauled through the creation of a Defence Delivery Agency. Success depends on embracing innovation, rapid capability development, and cultural change—otherwise, delays and inefficiencies may persist despite structural reform.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Understand the potential impact of Defence organisational reforms on capability delivery and operational readiness.
  • Apply rapid acquisition principles, including small, low-cost systems, to improve force responsiveness.
  • Evaluate opportunities and risks in major procurement projects, including integration with existing naval and weapons programs.
