Australia’s first MQ-4C Triton Remotely Piloted Aircraft System – “AUS 1” – to be operated by the Royal Australian Air Force was reportedly deployed for an intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance mission during the exercise earlier this year.
A US soldier was the first warfighter to execute real-world military mission exercises, using Lockheed Martin Sikorsky’s autonomous optionally piloted Black Hawk helicopter, powered by Matrix Technology.
As part of a $24 million scheme to contain the pests, the government says its aerial control program will disperse two rounds of treatment across 106,000 hectares by mid-2026, with eradication treatments also to be delivered year-round rather than seasonally.
The fit-for-purpose facilities and infrastructure to support the introduction into service of the MQ-4C Triton aircraft system is being delivered under the Department of Defence’s AIR7000 Phase 1B Project.
The milestone, using multiple drones to ferry loads up to 100kg, is envisioned to enable drones to complete missions previously limited to helicopters or large bespoke airframes.
A total of 43 pilots from Australia, the United Kingdom, New Zealand and the United States, plus new teams from Belgium, Germany and the Philippines, competed in the three-day competition from 16 to 18 September.
