Finally some movement in the 🇦🇺 maritime strategic fleet.
While the Govt deserves credit for being the 1st to tackle this issue since the demise of the ANL 30+ yrs ago, 1 leased vessel & a pilot program of up to 3 ships barely begins to address the scale or urgency of the challenge.
6 yrs ago we assessed Australia had no strategic warning time.

Japan has built a $2,500 cardboard drone. It actually flies fast while avoiding radar!
At first, the military thought it was a joke.
A plane made of… cardboard?
Yet, this drone can travel nearly 80 km at over 100 km/h.
And the craziest thing is that its material becomes an advantage.
Cardboard reflects radar waves less than some conventional materials.
As a result, it's harder to detect in the sky.
Japan can even transport hundreds of them in a single container and assemble them in minutes.
While some countries are building drones costing millions, they're focusing on machines that are practically disposable.
Perhaps this is the new technological warfare:
Simple, ultra-fast weapons… produced like Amazon packages.
