Charles Darwin U drones on

Charles Darwin U gets a drone manufacturing and testing facility

RMIT is in, with a research partnership and there is a $1M each from the feds and the NT government.

While there a bunch of tasks for the project there are eleven references to defence in the university’s announcement.

Charles Darwin U has long been keen on drones. Back in 2017 it offered a course for a commercial licence to fly one which took two weeks (CMM June 30). CMM is guessing the new ones have (sorry) evolved.
