Introducing the Woolner & Jones blog
A chance conversation about submarines and emerging battery technology in 2012 lead to a six-year long dialogue and the shared conclusion that Australia's Future Submarine Program faced significant technology challenges in the coming decades.
In early 2019 we co-authored a series of three articles on this subject (Future Proofing the Attack-class, ASPI The Strategist, June-July 2019), intended for publication just prior to the May 2019 Federal Election. Delays in editing the articles to meet publication requirements meant that the articles weren't published until after the election, and were substantially altered from our original submissions.
We determined that we needed more effective control over both the timing and content of future publications and posts, and have established our blog-of-record for this purpose. Our published articles will be evidence-based with provided references, and where we are expressing views or opinions we will indicate this explicitly. Posts will be less formal, but will nevertheless aim to present views based on publicly available information.
In the short term we will not be supporting comments on either posts or published articles, but intend to introduce this in the near future.
While the initial focus of our articles and posts is on emerging developments in submarine propulsion and their implications for Australia, we will broadening our view to include the wider implications of emerging energy technologies for defence policy, strategy and future acquisition programs.
