Australia and New Zealand are significantly expanding their defense industries to address regional challenges. Australia’s AUD 62.7 billion budget funds AUKUS submarines, guided weapons, and drone systems, while New Zealand’s NZ$12 billion plan includes maritime helicopters, airlift aircraft, and UAVs. Both nations aim to boost military capabilities, interoperability, and Indo-Pacific security cooperation.
