Australia partners with Boeing on new combat drone build

The federal government will invest $40 million to further develop a 12-metre prototype combat drone built by Boeing Australia.

Minister Christopher Pyne and Defence Industry Minister Steven Ciobo announced the partnership with the aerospace company on Wednesday to progress research and development on the project.

The partnership will result in a concept demonstrator unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that will be used to progress the development of the Boeing’s new unmanned platform, dubbed the Boeing Airpower Teaming System.

Good to see Australia getting in on the R&D game for aircraft, I wonder what ingenuity was brought to the table by the Aussies to see development happen outside the US?
