In this special Defence Connect Podcast recorded at the Indo Pacific 2023, host Steve Kuper and special guest Professor Peter Dean discuss the factors shaping the future Royal Australian Navy.
The pair begin the podcast discussing the latest maritime platform revelations at the Indo Pacific International Maritime Exposition 2023, with some of the standout proposals from Navantia Australia, BAE Systems, and Luerssen.
They then discuss the impact of the Defence Strategic Review and its findings on the future Royal Australian Navy fleet to maximise the impact of the future nuclear-powered submarine fleet.
