Unmanned plane to boost coastal surveillance


Wednesday, May 16th, 2007

An unmanned surveillance plane will begin patrols of northern Australian waters later this year in a multi-million dollar Federal Government trial.

It is hoped the plane, fitted with radars and surveillance sensors, will be able to detect illegal vessels and increase border protection.

The Director-General of Border Customs Protection, Nigel Perry, says the plane will begin patrolling waters in August for a 10-week trial.

“It’ll launch from Weipa airport and the way we are managing the trial program is that we will have some pre-planned flights around the Gulf of Carpentaria, around the Torres Strait and around the eastern side of Cape York,” Mr Perry said

“We’ll look at the sort of data we get back from those trials and what level of data it collected.”
