Williams Foundation Information

The Sir Richard Williams Foundation is an independent organisation whose primary purpose is to strengthen Australia’s national security by shaping and influencing policy decisions regarding Australia’s defence with an emphasis on air power. The Foundation also promotes national security policies that: i. promote the generation of coherent and sustainable combat power by Navy, Army and Air Force; particularly in a joint context, including through the wider Australian national scientific and support base, and ii. influence the evolving regional strategic environment in a manner favourable to Australia’s security. The Foundation aims to stimulate awareness, understanding and constructive debate on national security policies by conducting research, publishing papers, consulting with senior defence officials and industry representatives and hosting seminars and workshops.
