The Perry Group is an elective run by the Australian War College that aims to hone a more forward-thinking and creative mindset in our Defence leaders, using science fiction. It also provides the opportunity for War College students to research, and develop a group paper on, future Defence capability outside of the normal War College continuum.

Each year guidance is provided by CDF on the topics that the Perry Group might explore and VCDF group provides guidance to focus the group on key areas that may add most value to Defence’s modernization process.

The papers express recommendations or positions that aim to prompt further discussion in different working groups and committees across Defence. They do not reflect the position of the Department of Defence or the Australian Government.
