2006-16 Defence Capability Plan: Public Version

The 2006-16 Defence Capability Plan: Public Version (DCP 2006-16) represents our capability needs for the next 10 years. The unclassified DCP 2006-16 builds on the Government’s commitment to keep industry abreast of Defence’s acquisition planning so that it can effectively perform its role as a crucial component of our national Defence capability.

The Defence Capability Plan is produced to identify the major capability needs of the Australian Defence Force. It allows a greater range of options and flexibility to consider the total capability effect outcome rather than a platform centric approach. Providing a public version of the Defence Capability Plan to Australian industry is a key part of ensuring that the Australian Defence Force will continue to have the major equipment and systems it needs.
