Critics assert that New Zealand has a low capacity to absorb the Revolution in Military Affairs (RMA). This paper reviews RMA trendlines and enduring characteristics of New Zealand's strategic interests, constructs a New Zealand Defence Force (NZDF) modelled on RMA trendlines, and costs this model. The paper finds that the NZDF can absorb the RMA, and New Zealand can afford to further upgrade its armed forces within current financial baselines. A NZDF modernised along RMA trendlines would be significantly more effective as a fighting force (and in turn in its peacekeeping capacity), in its sovereignty protection roles; and in its ability to carry out ancillary tasks including research and, rescue and disaster relief.
