The new trilateral security agreement between Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States, known as “AUKUS,” will see the nations coordinate closely on developing joint cyber capabilities in addition to furnishing Australia with American nuclear submarine technology.
The leaders of the three nations, in a Sept. 15 joint statement, said that they would coordinate closely on jointly developing “cyber capabilities, artificial intelligence, quantum technologies, and additional undersea capabilities.”
