Theme: Shared Deterrence: Delivering Asymmetric Depth through Collaborative Autonomy
Objective: To achieve asymmetric depth, we must weaponize collaborative autonomy. We can no longer rely solely on crewed platforms to sustain the future fight. By forward-deploying autonomous systems as our sensory and jamming nodes, we project decisive EW effects deep into the battlespace. This symposium challenges the AUKUS enterprise to forge the open architectures and payloads required to remove physical risk from the warfighter, preserve kinetic magazines, and multiply our spectrum dominance.
