An Australian-developed advanced solid rocket motor has completed its first successful flight test at the Koonibba Test Range near Ceduna in South Australia, demonstrating the nation’s growing ability to design, manufacture, integrate, and validate critical missile propulsion technologies.
Australia will become the first nation outside the US to operate the AIM-260 Joint Advanced Tactical Missile, with a $736 million investment delivering a new generation of long-range air-to-air weapons designed to maintain the Royal Australian Air Force’s edge in an increasingly contested Indo-Pacific.
Operating for the duration of Exercise Pitch Black, the dedicated Parcel Hub provides Australian and international personnel deployed to Darwin access to postal services, including the movement of urgent freight and the return of equipment.
The plan to acquire human-operated strike drones for delivering explosives to a target without returning to launch points follows recent announcements to begin market research into unarmed long-range uncrewed aircraft systems capable of conducting maritime surveillance tasks.
The information gathered will provide indicative costs and time frames for the potential delivery of a system to conduct maritime surveillance activities across the South-West Pacific.
Part of the state’s $180.6 million Sovereign Industry Development Fund (SIDF), the grant will enable Leidos to “relocate and upgrade its Mission Equipment Service Centre”, boosting its capacity to maintain advanced airborne radar and electro-optic systems.
