The Northern Territory plays a pivotal strategic role in defence training, innovation and logistics. Our proximity to the equator, close links to Asia, established training facilities, low electromagnetic fields paired with fewer flight paths and commercial flights sets us apart from our neighbours. Our digital innovation has been recognised by local and international defence and our investment into a highly secure, high speed terabit network plus sub-sea cables connecting the Territory to Singapore, Indonesia, Timor Leste, Japan and the United States sets us ahead of our competition.
