Australia signed a record AUS$2.5 billion ($1.8 billion) deal on June 22 to export a sophisticated over-the-horizon radar defence system to Canada.
It was the first international sale of Australia's advanced radar technology, the government said.
"It is far and away the largest defence export that we have ever done," Defense Minister Richard Marles told a news conference.
