What is the Future of Australia’s Maritime Security and SLOC Through Our Region? Emeritus Professor Carl Thayer Presentation to Future Strategic Leaders Program, Kioloa, NSW May 24, 2015
Australia’s Maritime Security
Increase in Merchant Shipping 2003-13
Introduction • Australia has vital national interests: – Respect for international law and norms – Freedom of navigation – Unimpeded trade – Freedom of over flight in international airspace above the maritime domain – Rules-based regional order – peaceful settlement of disputes
Maritime Security • Sea Lines of Communication (SLORC) – Commercial ships and vessels – Military ships and vessels • Economic interdependence – Destabilising state actions or armed conflicts are dampened and unlikely – But there are still risks
Challenges • China’s rise and military modernisation – Security dilemma • Arms build up by regional states – Military technology and weapons systems – Growth of submarine fleets – Cruise missiles • Hot spots – East China Sea, Taiwan, South China Sea
Extended Range of China’s Anti-Ship Cruise Missiles
First and Second Island Chains
• China’s military modernisation • Surface combatants • Aircraft carrier(s) • Conventional and nuclear submarines • Ballistic missiles • Cruise missiles
Underwater sensors (fixed and mobile) to detect submarine movements
Yulin Naval Base, Hainan Island
Mischief Reef
Fiery Cross Reef
Johnson South Reef
Future Strategic Environment • Australia’s security environment will be more challenging over the next 20 years • Erosion of Australia’s historical military capability and technological advantages • Strait line extrapolations of current trends risky • What are the plausible alternatives?
