Ultimately, lethality will be judged by our ability to deter, fight, and win-through innovation, integration, and readiness.

Defence already maintains internal models to track and assess combat power, including classified simulations and operational effectiveness metrics.


We are already seeing measurable improvements through the Army's operational deployments and exercises, where sensor-to-shooter times have decreased, and survivability has increased. These are the kinds of real-world outcomes that matter.
