The deal follows an extensive evaluation program by the ADF and marks a significant step forward in deploying operational counter-small uncrewed aerial system (C-UAS) capabilities across Defence.
Delivered five weeks ahead of schedule in partnership with aviation services provider Yulista, the aircraft, a converted Boeing 777, will serve as NASA’s most capable airborne research platform to date. It is set to play a central role in supporting global climate and Earth system science.
The firm has been selected to replace older analogue equipment at airports and air traffic control facilities in the US with its digital CERTIUM Voice Communication System (VCS) as part of the FAA’s Brand-New Air Traffic Control System (BNATCS) initiative.
Starting 15 June, VA1-2 and VA7-8 flights from Sydney and Melbourne to Doha will resume following their earlier cancellation, though other services will remain cancelled for another three months. Virgin has said it is offering “flexibility” for guests who may wish to change travel plans.
The agreement will see NIOA provide a range of technical components to SYPAQ’s Corvo Strike Counter-Uncrewed Aerial System platform.
The aircraft successfully demonstrated autonomous taxi, take-off, flight, landing, and response to commands from the Unmanned Carrier Aviation Mission Control System MD-5 Ground Control Station during the two-hour flight.
