This article articulates a concrete, near-term (2030s) operational concept for Australian maritime denial that bridges the capability gap until nuclear submarines arrive. It directly supports Pillar 6 (Maritime Defence) and Pillar 3 (Industrial Base) by proposing a distributed, resilient architecture of ground-based strike systems and forward operating bases—shifting Australia's defence posture from submarine-centric to a credible multi-domain denial strategy within budget and timeline constraints.
