Australia is shifting its military focus to better deal with the threat from Beijing by reducing the purchase of armoured vehicles and investing in long-range missiles suited for maritime warfare. The Labour government received a final defence review last April, which suggests reshaping the Australian Defence Force (ADF) to face uncertainty and contribute to the collective security of the region. Defence Industry Minister Pat Conroy explained that the ADF will pivot from a land-based fighting force to one with greater range for its artillery, extending to 500 kilometers rather than the current 45 kilometers. The review suggests acquiring land-based missile launchers suitable for hitting naval targets. The government aims to free up funding by canceling a regiment of self-propelled howitzers and reducing the number of infantry fighting vehicles on order. Conroy also expressed plans to deal with acquisition and procurement issues in the ADF.
