Low Cost Mass-Produced Drones: a Tactical Advantage Air Marshal Chipman, former Chief of the Air Force, announced on the eve of the 2023 Avalon Air Show that Australia needs to consider and invest in low-cost mass-produced (LCMP) drones. LCMP drones are those, which either are readily available as off-the-shelf products and/or easily manufactured by sovereign capability, at a cost in the order of $10,000 or less. The announcement acknowledged the sharp rise in the use of LCMP drones recently and their significant contribution to air power. This blog explores some of the roles, advantages and considerations when acquiring this technology. 🖋️ Amanda Kent https://lnkd.in/gUaNKRMM
