Joint Maritime Surveillance Do-able with Unmanned Aerial System
The Australian Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Defence, Mr Peter Lindsay, has released a public report on the outcomes of the North West Shelf Unmanned Aerial System Trial conducted late last year.
Mr Lindsay said the report confirmed the ability to employ Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) in a maritime surveillance role to help protect Australia’s North West Shelf area.
General Atomics Aeronautical Systems participated in the trial with a Mariner Demonstrator UAV which flew over 75 hours during its deployment in Australia. Northrop Grumman carried out the virtual phase of the trial at the company’s Cyber Warfare Integration Network facility in San Diego.
