- Support planning, decision-making and execution of sensitive asymmetric effects.
- Explore innovative force options and concepts that enable asymmetric advantage.
- Assess Defence investments for their asymmetric potential.

The Asymmetry project is one of DSTG highest priorities and was established in direct response to both the Government’s Defence Strategic Review (DSR) and subsequent National Defence Strategy (NDS). Working alongside other projects within the Integrated Force domain, the asymmetry project identifies, explores and develops innovative strategies, concepts and capabilities that pit Australia’s strengths against a potential adversary’s weaknesses, sometimes in non-traditional or unconventional ways, and across the spectrum of conflict. The team is highly distributed, with staff in each of DSTG’s main laboratories at Edinburgh, SA, Fishermans Bend, VIC, and Fairbarn, ACT.
