AUKUS is supposed to allow for robust technology sharing. The US will need to change its onerous laws first

Retrieved on: 
Friday, July 14, 2023

These include cyber capabilities, electronic warfare, quantum technology, hypersonics, artificial intelligence and autonomous military capabilities.

Key Points: 
  • These include cyber capabilities, electronic warfare, quantum technology, hypersonics, artificial intelligence and autonomous military capabilities.
  • This can include vetting their staff, limiting access to the information or technology, and agreeing to onerous monitoring and reporting requirements.
  • They could be exposed to US criminal laws if they fail to meet these obligations after being granted a licence.

Are changes to the US restrictions on the way?

    • They have expressed a need to make US and Australian defence trade easier so the AUKUS deal can work as intended.
    • Named the TORPEDO Act, it would not only designate Australia a “domestic source”, but also ease restrictions for technology-sharing with Australia and the UK.
    • Whichever path the US takes, it could take years for any of these legislative changes to be accepted and implemented.

What would this mean for Australia?

    • Canadian arms manufacturers and researchers can now access US technologies and information without going through the onerous licensing requirements under the International Traffic of Arms Regulations.
    • This would be a boon for the Australian defence industry, boosting our competitiveness in the global market.
    • Trade to the US and Canada would be also be simplified, with much greater opportunity to export goods back to the those countries.

Does Australia need to change its own laws?

    • Although Australia has not exactly followed the American model of defence export controls, our system is quite similar.
    • Australia currently requires licences to allow items or information on the Defence and Strategic Goods List to be supplied, published or brokered for sale to another country.
    • However, Australia doesn’t have the same ongoing monitoring obligations the US has.
    • One can surmise the impending updates to the Australian Defence Trade Controls Act will reveal exactly how this balance will be established.
