Here\u2019s our usual weekly round-up of the latest articles and reports in strategy, defence and security.<\/p>\n

Capability<\/strong><\/p>\n

China is making great progress in the development of new aircraft. This Diplomat<\/em> article wonders, now that they\u2019ve got their own jet fighters, how they are going with jet engines<\/a>?<\/p>\n

Next, the Australian government announced this week it\u2019s keeping open the option of buying more Super Hornets<\/a>\u00a0(pictured below) as part of its \u2018plan B\u2019 approach to the purchase of F-35 Joint Strike Fighters.<\/p>\n

\"An<\/a><\/p>\n

It\u2019s interesting to see the parallels in Canada, where their F-35 purchase is also under review<\/a>. The F-35 might have made headlines here, but discrepancies between the public figures and in-house costings<\/a> have caused enormous political grief for Canada\u2019s Conservative government<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Security and strategy<\/strong><\/p>\n

CSIS Jakarta’s Iis Gindarsah has a new article on the logistical issues holding back the Indonesian military’s modernisation plans<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Last week, I included a piece on the legalities of China\u2019s new South China Sea passport. Here\u2019s a follow-up: a new IISS Strategic Comment on how it\u2019s stoking the territorial dispute<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Moving onto the Asian Century, the Asialink Commission\u2019s new report \u2018Our place in the Asian Century\u2019<\/a> (PDF) argues that closer ties with ASEAN is the best way to navigate the rise of China and enhance our influence in Asia and beyond.<\/p>\n

And speaking of engaging Asia Pacific partners, Hugh White argued earlier in the week, Australia should be wary of closer ties with Japan<\/a> while Peter Jennings says full steam ahead<\/a>. Meanwhile, Tessa Morris-Sukuzi looks at what the nationalist troika in Japan\u2019s upcoming election means for regional security<\/a>.<\/p>\n

SDSC\u2019s Stephan Fr\u00fchling and Benjamin Schreer argue we need to get serious about ballistic missile defence<\/a> and the Australian government should reinforce political support for international missile defence cooperation.<\/p>\n

Next, this Foreign Affairs<\/em> article by Brandon Valeriano and Ryan Maness on why we shouldn\u2019t fear the fog of cyberwar<\/a> (thanks Peter Layton). In short, actual cyberattacks aren\u2019t as severe as people think. And if you\u2019re in a reading mood, here\u2019s a Foreign Affairs<\/em> list on what to read on cybersecurity<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Keeping with a cyber theme, Land Warfare Studies Centre’s Chloe Diggins and Clint Arizmendi have a Wired<\/em> post on the next domain of warfare: your brain<\/a>. With new brain-computer interface technologies, could soldiers\u2019 brains be hacked and manipulated in warfare?<\/p>\n

Last but not least, here\u2019s SIPRI\u2019s 2012 map of multilateral peace operation deployments<\/a> (PDF). It\u2019s a useful snapshot of which groups of countries are involved in which peacekeeping ops globally. And for more detailed information, check out their database<\/a>.<\/p>\n
