AUKUS is a military agreement between Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States with two "pillars":
- The first pillar is a Federal Government commitment to spend $368 billion to purchase and construct 8 nuclear powered submarines to be part of the US nuclear submarine fleet surrounding the People's Republic of China.
- The second pillar is to collaborate with the Governments of UK and USA to "develop and provide joint advanced military capabilities" involving computer, missile and artificial intelligence technologies.
