Early delivery of Shadow 200 UAS
Australia’s first Shadow 200 UAV system is currently working up in Afghanistan, while delivery of the second, 5-aircraft system has been brought forward to mid-2012.
The Minister for Defence, Stephen Smith and Minister for Defence Material, Jason Clare announced that a second Shadow 200 tactical UAS (TUAS) will be delivered for use by Australian troops preparing to deploy to Afghanistan, almost one year ahead of schedule.
The first of the two Shadow 200 tactical unmanned aerial systems was delivered in August 2011 and is currently operational in Afghanistan.
The Shadow 200 system captures full motion video during both day and night operations which can be sent back to a ground control station up to 125 kilometres away. It can recognise targets on the ground while operating at an altitude of up to 8,000 feet.
Each Shadow 200 System comprises five aircraft, ground control stations, a launch and recovery element, and associated equipment, logistics and training. The two Shadow 200 systems are being acquired through Joint Project 129 (Phase 2) at a total cost of over $90 million.
