Abstract
- The article reports on a defense white paper which included recommendations for a domestic surveillance satellite capacity in Australia. The document urges the Australian government to prioritize the expansion of its space capabilities and acquire access to high-quality imagery to support mapping, charting, navigation and targeting activities. According to defense planners, the country would still rely on U.S. space imagery but would acquire domestic capacity in order to ensure timely access to desired data.
