AUKUS Improvement Act of 2025

This bill makes it easier and faster for the United States, Australia, and the United Kingdom to share and move defense equipment and related know‑how. It lets U.S.-sold defense items be moved between Australia and the U.K. without needing extra approval from the President, and it allows approved workers inside companies and government offices to share related technical information within their teams, if they meet security rules. It also drops a required certification step for certain business agreements that provide technical help or manufacturing rights when those deals involve Australia or the U.K..

Key points:

• Who is affected: U.S., Australian, and U.K. governments; approved defense companies and their eligible employees working on these projects.
• What changes: Faster movement of defense items between Australia and the U.K. without presidential sign-off; easier approved sharing within companies and government; no certification step for certain technical or manufacturing agreements involving Australia or the U.K..
