In the first biennial National Defence Strategy released on Wednesday, the government said it may consider broadening the accelerator, moving it closer to the United States’ Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) model.

“As the system and process matures, consideration may be given to broaden ASCA’s remit to support other national security agencies and domestic partners to deliver whole-of-government innovation outcomes,” the strategy said.
