Defence & Government

The allied answerto the Indo-Pacific.

Australis fills the Indo-Pacific's structural shortage of commercially accessible range capacity with a dedicated dual-use corridor under sovereign Australian jurisdiction, complementary to national ranges and purpose-built for the missions they cannot prioritise.

The Capability Gap

Allied range capacity is structurally short.

Allied ranges are government-exclusive and heavily booked. National ranges in Australia are oversubscribed with sovereign priorities. Allied commercial ranges exist only in the northern hemisphere. There is no allied, dual-use, commercially accessible range capacity at scale in the Indo-Pacific, the theatre that matters most this decade.

Allied ranges.

Government-exclusive and at capacity, not commercially or allied-accessible for sustained programs.

National ranges.

Oversubscribed with sovereign priorities and live operations. Slot availability measured in months, procurement in years.

Australis.

Commercially contracted, dedicated dual-use capacity in the Indo-Pacific, complementary to national ranges and accessible to allied programs.

The Dual-Use Thesis

Same infrastructure. Commercial and defence.

Pure-commercial sites lack defence-grade security and cleared-facility infrastructure. Pure-defence sites are not commercially accessible. Dual-use infrastructure delivers what neither can alone.

i.
Scale economics
Commercial launch revenue funds infrastructure that defence programs access on surge. Neither pays full cost alone.
ii.
Allied jurisdiction
Sovereign Australian territory inside the AUKUS framework, with AUKUS Pillar II technology-sharing architecture applying natively.
iii.
Flexibility under surge
Commercial schedule yields to defence priority when needed. The range operates at higher utilisation across both.
AUKUS Pillar II

Positioned across the priority areas.

The platform supports identified AUKUS Pillar II advanced-capability priorities as commercially accessible allied infrastructure under sovereign Australian jurisdiction.

vi.
Sea & MaritimeSea-launch pathway and maritime systems integration for Indo-Pacific reach and allied maritime domain awareness.
vii.
UAS & InterceptorsRed Haven gives counter-UAS and interceptor programs a sovereign range for high-speed intercept trials under TSA custody and AUKUS Pillar II arrangements.
Technology Safeguards

A short, clean custody chain.

The US-Australia Technology Safeguards Agreement was negotiated specifically to unlock US launch and re-entry operations from Australian commercial sites. For sensitive programs, custody-chain cleanliness is often the actual gate on whether a campaign can happen at a foreign site.

Australis combines an Australian-owned entity and a secure-facility pathway, the short, clean custody chain allied technology requires, inside one jurisdiction.

i.
Australian-Owned EntitySovereign corporate structure aligned with allied security frameworks.
ii.
Secure-Facility PathwayCleared-facility and secure-compartment pathway on site for classified program support.
iii.
Sovereign StackGround, tracking, telemetry and communications under sovereign control.
The Range

Red Haven Range. An inland envelope for allied test programs.

Inland of the Australis Polar corridor lies a vast, flat, near-unpopulated dual-use test envelope on the Nullarbor, complementary to Woomera and commercially accessible for sustained multi-customer defence programs. No civilian overflight. No shipping lanes. No splash-zones.

Terrain
Nullarbor limestone, ideal footprint
Access
Sealed runways, rail and fibre on site
Mission set
SRM static fire · hypersonic test
Recovery
Wheels or parachute, turned in days
