The Australian government has revealed a significant defence partnership with Canada, marking Australia’s largest-ever defence export deal.
The collaboration centres on Australia’s advanced Over-the-Horizon Radar (OTHR) technology, which will enhance Canada’s Arctic security capabilities amid growing global tensions.
Australian Minister for Defence Industry, Pat Conroy, announced the agreement, highlighting its role in bolstering bilateral ties. The OTHR system, renowned for its long-range detection abilities, will support Canada’s efforts to upgrade its northern defences, including radar systems and drone acquisitions for the Royal Canadian Navy.

This deal not only represents a milestone in defence trade but also creates opportunities for job growth and technological exchange between the two CANZUK partners. With shared values in security and innovation, Australia and Canada are positioning themselves as key players in addressing Indo-Pacific and Arctic challenges.
The partnership aligns with broader multilateral frameworks, such as the Five Eyes alliance, and complements recent initiatives like the Australia-New Zealand cyber collaboration and the Canada-UK defence and trade working group.
CANZUK International welcomes this development as a concrete step toward deeper integration among Canada and Australia as part of a CANZUK alliance. By leveraging each nation’s strengths in defence technology, such agreements pave the way for enhanced collective security and the promotion of international peace.
