The incident reportedly occurred at Base Darwin late on 14 September around 4:30pm. The break-in also allegedly triggered a lockdown of the base, with Military Police, Australian Federal Police and NT Police all called to respond.
The production jump is reportedly being made in response to LM Skunk Works meeting urgency in the development of survivable, multi-mission, autonomous capability in the US market.
The trial, from 17 to 21 August, assessed two Australian-developed systems: the uncrewed maritime-logistics-focused Callisto 50 trial demonstrated autonomous launch and recovery from a moving ship, while the Arace Angel trialled airborne surveillance and night operations.
Chief of Air Force, Air Marshal Stephen Chappell, said the RAAF has demonstrated it is ready to conduct long-range, survivable and lethal maritime and land strike from F/A-18F Super Hornet aircraft against highly defended targets.
The investment, part of the second tranche of AIR6500, will be made over six years through Defence’s existing strategic partnership with Lockheed Martin Australia, providing more than 360 highly skilled jobs in both the Hunter region and South Australia, and supporting the Australian Defence industry.
The Townsville Aviation Centre of Excellence is billed as a “leading training facility for the next generation of defence aviation maintenance engineers” with simulation equipment such as aircraft maintenance trainers and virtual maintenance trainers, as well as other advanced system trainers.
