💨 Abstract

Australia's defense officials are planning to increase the use of autonomous systems to defend the country's vast geography, predicting potential "friction in the system" as uncrewed systems become more prevalent. The Australian Air Force is collaborating with Boeing on the Ghost Bat, an autonomous combat aircraft, with tests expected this year. The aim is to provide greater scale, sustainability, and survivability, not to replace crewed platforms.
