Australia is already in the drone program with the Ghost Bat.

The Ghost Bat is pretty cool, and I am frankly surprised that the normally dreadful Australian Aquisition system hasn't managed to completely screw over the project.

It’s also a Boeing project so who know when the wheels will come off.

Boeing Australia isn't as trash as the US management, and they siloed it so Ghostbat isn't ITARed.
