Three Quantum Vector 2-in-1 operator courses have been completed to date, with additional drone qualification courses expected later this year.
Ukrainian ambassador to Australia, Vasyl Myroshnychenko, made the comments on the sidelines of the space industry event held at Hyatt Regency Sydney on Thursday, 18 June.
The contracts will see General Atomics produce the YFQ-42A and Anduril manufacture the YFQ-44A, creating the first operational fleet of autonomous combat aircraft designed to fly alongside crewed fighters as part of a next-generation “human-machine team”.
The completion of the AIR5440 program, dubbed “an important milestone in the delivery of a complex air mobility capability upgrade achieved through strong defence industry collaboration”, was marked with an event at RAAF Base Richmond this month.
The Royal Australian Air Force’s biggest exercise is set to take place in the Top End next month, seeing 19 allied nations joining the three-week effort involving combat scenario exercises, regional support and interoperability.
Australia had previously announced the acquisition of four MC‑55A aircraft to deliver critical intelligence in real time, strengthen the country's monitoring of strategic maritime approaches, and integrate with allied and partner systems, including the US and the UK.
