President Joe Biden has announced a trilateral air defence network involving the US, Japan and Australia, following a summit meeting in Washington with Prime Minister Fumio Kishida. The new strategy will give Australia access to US and Japanese knowledge and hardware for the Australian Defence Force’s proposed air and missile defence system, which is in the early stages of development with Lockheed Martin. Professor Peter Dean, who was co-lead of the 2023 Defence Strategic Review, says the new strategy puts Australia on track to acquire Patriot aerial interceptor missiles.
