Australian Government has committed to the acquisition of the Triton Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), subject to the successful completion of the US Navy development programme currently under way.
These aircraft will patrol Australia’s ocean approaches, and work closely with other existing and future Australian Defence Force assets to secure ocean resources, including energy resources off northern Australia, and help to protect borders.
The Triton UAVs will be based in Adelaide, South Australia.
The total number of Triton UAVs to be acquired will be further considered by Government in 2016.
