Australia to bolster its military capabilities in the face of rising tensions with China
- The Australia n government said on Saturday it had for the first time test-fired a Raytheon , opens new tab SM-6 missile from a Navy ship, a major step in acquiring and integrating the air-defence weapon into its inventory.
The SM-6 is the most advanced naval air defence missile in the U.S. arsenal, including against ballistic missiles, and has also been tested for striking ships and ground targets, and in air-to-air scenarios. “The ability to deter an adversary from extended ranges and to deter attempts to project power against Australia is a core part of the National Defence Strategy.”
Expanding the area that a ship can defend forces adversaries to operate farther away and enables the Royal Australian Navy to push deeper into contested waters if there is a conflict.
