North West Shelf Unmanned Aerial System Trial

Abstract

In response to a government policy announcement issued during the lead-up to the 2004 federal election, Defence undertook two demonstrations of the application of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) technology to the protection of the North West Shelf region. A real world trial took place in August-September 2006, involving the General Atomics Aeronautical Systems Incorporated Mariner Demonstrator UAS. A modelling and simulation based trial involving Northrop Grumman's Cyber Warfare Integration Network (CWIN) facility took place in October 2006, with a Global Hawk-based UAS being represented within the simulation environment. This report provides a public releasable summary of these two activities.
