Uncrewed systems are one of the foundations of AUKUS Pillar Two, which also includes hypersonic weapons, quantum technology, and electronic warfare

In addition, these countries expanded their diplomatic coordination and security cooperation, which reflected a strategic commitment among the region’s democracies to support a rules-based order and advance a shared vision of
