Black Sky Aerospace CEO Blake Nikolic says they are building “guided weapons” as part of the Guided Weapons and Explosive Ordnance Enterprise that the Australian Defence Force and the government have created.

This comes as an “acceleration” for Australia to get more weapons to “support” the Australian Defence Force, Mr Nikolic said.

“These systems have special capabilities on them to be able to guide them onto a target.

“The idea is that, for us, it’s about building a sovereign capability.”
