Scaling Up: Australia-UK-US Security Pact Looks To Expand Into Aerospace

Australia, the United States, and the United Kingdom are regarded as three of the most natural and historic allies. As the world enters a new era of Great Power Competition, the three recently created the AUKUS security alliance centered around procuring nuclear-powered submarines for Australia. Now, the three countries seek to build on that partnership and expand their focus beyond the submarine realm and into aerospace. Concurrently, the US Air Force is dramatically expanding airmen exchange programs with Australia and wants to extend that to the UK, Canada, and New Zealand.
