The research conducted by the Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI) has highlighted the need for Australia to upgrade its anti-submarine warfare (ASW) capabilities to face the growing threat from submarines in the Asia-Pacific region. Australia will not be able to conduct major naval operations in waters patrolled by strong and heavily equipped armed submarines of the regional countries without modernizing and expanding its military facilities.
