Australia Invests $30M in Anti-Drone Tech
Description
Australias Albanese government invests $30 million in advanced anti-drone weapons, securing deals with AIM Defence and SYPAQ Systems for their Fractl laser system and Corvo Strike interceptor. This move is part of a $7 billion investment over the next decade, aiming to counter drone swarms in modern conflicts, as seen in Ukraine and the Middle East. The initiative supports Major General Hugh Meggitts Mission Syracuse program, focusing on Australian innovations in lasers and kinetic hits. This investment is part of a larger peacetime defence ramp-up, allocating over $53 billion through the decade to maintain the Australian Defence Forces edge in the drone-dominated battlefield.
