Australia is set to acquire the latest unmanned aircraft for surveillance and target selection by day and night, the government announced July 5.
Defence Minister Robert Hill said the government would spend $100 million to $150 million Australian dollars ($70 million to $105 million U.S.) acquiring a fleet of tactical unmanned surveillance aircraft able to back up land operations.
The new aircraft would be equipped with a sensor system capable of taking video and still images.
