The Australian Defence Force (ADF) is exploring the use of uncrewed systems as a means of deterrence in the twenty-first century. This initiative is detailed in a report by Bryan Clark and David Byrd from the Center for Defense Concepts and Technology at the Hudson Institute.

The report outlines how these uncrewed systems can enhance the ADF"s capabilities in modern warfare and strategic deterrence. The integration of such technologies is seen as essential for maintaining national security and responding to evolving threats.

This exploration comes amid recent developments in global security, including increased risks in maritime areas, as highlighted by recent reports of shipping attacks in the Black Sea. The ADF"s focus on uncrewed systems reflects a broader trend in military modernization, where naval power projection is fundamentally changing due to new technologies, as noted in previous coverage.

The findings from the Hudson Institute report may influence future defense strategies and investments by the ADF as it seeks to adapt to the challenges of contemporary warfare.
