arXiv:2606.06942v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Policymakers in defence and defence-aligned sectors must monitor rapidly evolving research alongside sector priorities relevant to operational and strategic needs. In practice, these sources are fragmented across heterogeneous formats, disjoint repositories, and siloed update streams, making capability discovery slow and difficult to audit. We present Didact, a prototype that integrates publicly available defence reports and policy documents from Australia with a purpose-built knowledge graph derived from Australian research publications. Didac
The increasing complexity of geopolitical landscapes and the rapid pace of technological innovation necessitate advanced systems to manage and leverage information for defence purposes.
This system addresses a critical need for defence policymakers to quickly identify and integrate relevant research and policy, enhancing national security and strategic decision-making.
The ability to rapidly discover and audit defence capabilities across disparate data sources will improve the efficiency and effectiveness of defence planning and deployment.

- · Defence technology sectors
- · Governments investing in AI for national security
- · Australia's defence industry
- · Nations with fragmented defence intelligence
- · Traditional, manual intelligence gathering processes
- · Adversaries with information asymmetry based on disorganized data
Didact improves Australia's defence capability discovery and strategic planning by integrating fragmented data.
Enhanced defence intelligence could lead to more agile and effective responses to regional security challenges.
The methodology could be adopted by other allied nations, fostering a network of interconnected defence intelligence systems and strengthening collective security.
