Seasprite – The Billion Dollar Blunder
Australia’s prominent role in the war on terror has led to calls for increased spending on defence. But tonight’s story – on how Australia forked out over $1 billion for helicopters which are literally museum pieces – raises serious questions about how the defence budget is being managed. Thom Cookes has more.

An Australian news program about the expensive and overdue seasprite helicopter program. Weapons integration and the new electronics are still a major problem.
There is a video on the website as well.
