Australia has unveiled its new Loyal Wingman drone, the first military aircraft to be designed and built locally in more than 50 years.
The Loyal Wingman will have a range of more than 3700 kilometres and team up with Strike Fighters, Super Hornets and Growlers to "project power forward while keeping manned capabilities out of harm's way".
The first of the Boeing drones is expected to start ground trials soon.
