How many unmanned drones can $50 billion buy?
Build them in Australia just like the subs
An unmanned combat aerial vehicle (UCAV), also known as a combat drone or simply a drone, is an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that usually carries aircraft ordnance such as missiles and is used for drone strikes.[1] Aircraft of this type have no onboard human pilot.[2] These drones are usually under real-time human control, with varying levels of autonomy.[3] They are used in drone strikes.[4]
Equipment necessary for a human pilot (such as the cockpit, armor, ejection seat, flight controls, and environmental controls for pressure and oxygen) are not needed, as the operator runs the vehicle from a remote terminal, resulting in a lower weight and a smaller size than a manned aircraft.
The United States, China, and Israel are widely recognized as industry leaders in UCAV technology.[5] Several other countries have operational, domestic UAVs, and many more have imported armed drones or have development programs under way.[6]
