Australian Defence Force missile procurement
The Australian Defence Force Missile Procurement (unofficial name) is a group of projects currently being undertaken by the Australian Defence Force that attempts to provide Australia with a long-range strike capability, currently in the realm of numerous advanced missiles. This accelerated phase of procurement begun in 2020 when then-Prime Minister of Australia, Scott Morrison, announced that Australia would purchase $800m worth of the US-manufactured AGM-158C LRASM anti-ship missile. This was due to the rising tensions with China, as well as the outdated nature of the Harpoon missile, the default anti-ship option for Australia at the time.

Following this, in 2021, Australia abandoned its deal with France to produce Attack-class submarines for the Royal Australian Navy, in favour for AUKUS, a trilateral deal between Australia, the United States, and the United Kingdom to provide Australia with SSN-AUKUS nuclear powered submarines. As part of Pillar II of AUKUS, the US and Australia will collaborate on various different military technology, the most relevant of which being the SCIFiRE hypersonic missile in joint development between the United States and Australia.

Australia plans to domestically manufacture advanced missiles, first with the GMLRS for the M142 HIMARS systems, from 2025, in a $37m deal with Lockheed Martin Australia. Australia plans to later manufacture the Precision Strike short-range ballistic missile domestically sometime in the future, to replace the ADF's aging stockpile of the MGM-140 ATACMS tactical ballistic missile.

Ballistic Missiles
Australia acquired MGM-140 ATACMS in 2023. The ATACMS is an American-manufactured tactical ballistic missile that is compatible with Australian HIMARS systems. The ATACMS is an ageing missile, and as such, Australia has no intent to build them domestically. Australia is a part of the American Precision Strike Missile program, that will provide Australia with a successor to the ATACMS, which will be a short-range ballistic missile. The PrSM has a longer range of between 500km (for the original variant) and up to 1000km (for the Increment 3/4) which Australia will also acquire.

Rocket Artillery
The GMLRS is perhaps at the forefront of Australia's domestic manufacturing deal, as Australia has signed a deal with Lockheed Martin Australia to build them domestically from 2025. The GMLRS is a guided-rocket that can be fired from the HIMARS, with the launcher able to carry and launch 12 of them, as opposed to one ATACMS and two PrSM. The GMLRS has a range of 70km, and is a cheaper alternative to the former missiles. The extended range variant can reach up to 150km.

Land Attack Cruise Missiles
Australia has announced it will procure roughly 200 of the advanced US Tomahawk missile, in a deal worth $1.7bn USD. The Tomahawk is a land-attack cruise missile, with a range of 1,900km, which Australia plans to launch from its Hobart-class destroyers via their Vertical launching system cells.

Australia will also procure the AGM-158 JASSM-ER, a longer range version of the JASSM, a missile already in Australian use. The JASSM-ER has a range of 900km and is air-launched cruise missile.

Australia is buying the Joint Strike Missile, a Norwegian device that has anti-ship use and land-attack uses.
