Defence and intelligence agencies face the most aggressive PQC migration timelines, the strictest export control exposure, and the most complex procurement decisions in the quantum domain. The CNSA 2.0 suite, AUKUS quantum cooperation, and classified quantum sensing programmes all converge here.
The Forum tracks defence-specific PQC migration requirements, quantum sensing deployment for military applications, allied coordination on quantum technology controls, defence procurement signals, and the governance implications of quantum capabilities for intelligence collection and signals security.
