Australia is the world's 14th largest economy (US$ 1 trillion) and has maintained a steady GDP growth rate (around 3.5% per annum). Ranked as the world's most resilient economy for six out of the last eight years, it is the only advanced economy not to have fallen into recession during the economic downturn. The Asia Pacific region has leap-frogged Europe and North America to become the world's leading aviation market in the first six months of 2010. According to the latest sample data from the Airports Council International, the leading Asia Pacific airports handled close to 500 million passengers in the first half of 2010.

Homeland Security is at the forefront of Australian National Defence policy defining the following key challenges; Border violations, cyber attack, airport security, passenger management, stand off screening and detection, protection of critical infrastructure, 1st responder C2 and UAV detection.
