根据《2026年国家国防战略》(NDS),澳大利亚计划在未来四年内追加140亿澳元的国防投资,在未来十年内追加530亿澳元。澳大利亚发布了其2026年NDS和《综合投资计划》(IIP),阐述了旨在增强军事能力、加强国家韧性和扩大国内国防工业基础的国防支出重大增长。
澳大利亚国防部4月16日宣布,政府已根据2026年IIP承诺在未来10年内投入4250亿澳元(约3050亿美元)来使澳大利亚国防军(ADF)现代化。澳大利亚最初的NDS和IIP于2024年推出,旨在改善国防军的姿态和能力。2026年的版本建立在这一框架之上,并以进一步增加国防支出为支撑。
国防部表示,与2024年NDS中做出的承诺相结合,这使得未来四年的总额外投资达到300亿澳元,到2036年达到1170亿澳元。因此,按北约计算方法,国防支出占GDP的比例预计到2033年将上升到3%。2026年NDS是围绕国防部所描述的“自二战以来最严峻的情况”而制定的,旨在实现更具威慑力的军事态势。
Under 2026 NDS, Australia plans defence investment worth an additional AUD14 billion over the next four years and AUD53 billion over the next decade. (Janes)
Australia has released its 2026 National Defence Strategy (NDS) and Integrated Investment Program (IIP), setting out a major uplift in defence spending aimed at enhancing military capability, strengthening national resilience, and expanding the domestic defence industrial base.
The Australian Department of Defence (DoD) announced on 16 April that the government has committed AUD425 billion (USD305 billion) under the 2026 IIP over the next 10 years to modernise the Australian Defence Force (ADF).
Australia's inaugural NDS and IIP were launched in 2024 to improve ADF posture and capabilities, integrating military power with broader national resources and resilience. The 2026 iterations of the documents build on this framework and are underpinned by a further increase in defence spending.
According to the DoD, Australia will invest an additional AUD14 billion over the next four years and AUD53 billion over the next decade in defence funding. Combined with commitments made under the 2024 NDS, this brings total additional investment to AUD30 billion over the four-year forward estimate period and AUD117 billion through to 2036.
As a result, defence spending as a proportion of GDP is projected to rise to 3% by 2033, calculated using NATO-style accounting methods, the DoD said.
2026 NDS
The 2026 NDS builds on the 2023 Defence Strategic Review and the 2024 NDS and is framed around what the DoD describes as the “most challenging circumstances since the Second World War”.
