💨 Abstract

The U.S. maintains restrictions on sensitive defense exports, including submarine technology, hindering collaboration with Australian companies in the production of Virginia-class submarines under AUKUS. These restrictions pose challenges to meeting the U.S. Navy's targets, which in turn affect Australia's ability to purchase three Virginia-class nuclear-powered submarines. Efforts are underway to help Australian companies qualify for Virginia sub contracts and exchange information with U.S.
