The Royal Australian Navy will host the largest international maritime exercise in Australia for 2010 off the coast of Darwin. Ships and aircraft from Thailand, Singapore, New Zealand, and Japan will join eight Royal Australian Navy vessels in Exercise Kakadu (KA10) which aims to promote international operations between Navies.

Exercise Kakadu, now in its 20th year, is a maritime exercise aimed at developing interoperability in multilateral operations. The exercise aims to improve the Australian Defence Force's ability to work with international naval forces in maritime security exercises and activities, and will test the effectiveness of participating assists in simulated warfare at sea.

Exercise Kakadu will be held from 16 August to 3 September 2010.
