The 11-minute show was performed by international drone pilots from computer giant Intel, who were trained and accredited to operate in Australian skies by local drone companies Aviassist and Mirragin.
The light display, organised by UK-based drone art company Celestial, was planned to include 350 drones in total, flying in formation over Victoria Harbour, taking on the shape of animals, faces, words, and more.
The Sydney-based business manufactures products to detect and jam enemy drones and said it would provide the mystery country with a variant of its autonomous DroneSentry system.
The business commissioned a local ornithologist, Neil Hermes, to study the birds and discovered they were protecting three chicks nesting in a tree. Now they’ve fledged, operations in the area have resumed.
In light of the approval, the Melbourne-based firm will begin operations this month at its hub at the Goondiwindi Aerodrome on the Queensland/NSW border.
Formerly the Australian Association for Unmanned Systems, the new name marks a "subtle but significant" change, according to the association, which is the oldest and largest industry advocacy group for drones and the emerging urban air mobility sector in Australia.
