Defence Industry Policy 2010: The Combet Iteration
Author: Robert Wylie
Volume 6, Number 3 (Spring 2010), pp. 59-77.
Abstract
Developing defence policy for Australian industry is an iterative process. The latest iteration, released in 2010, builds on the previous 2007 iteration’s attempt to formulate a strategy-led industry policy. The 2010 version makes sense of disparate industry support programs. The next iteration is likely to be shaped by greater recognition of the nexus between Australian Defence Force preparedness and industry performance; by changes in Defence organisational arrangements and policy governance; and by changes in how the United States seeks to control the international diffusion of its military technology.
