At the other extreme of the unmanned aircraft spectrum is the $80 million Northrop grumman built US NAVY Triton maritime surveillance aircraft.
Australia is set to buy up to seven of the jet aircraft to be based at Edinburgh RAAF base near Adelaide.
After that the aircraft will operate at five locations in so called orbits of four aircraft providing the US with constant global coverage of the oceans.

marvel at the capacity of the latest unmanned flying systems. Lieutenant commander Selew is the Government Flight test Director for the Fire Scout MQ-8c at Point Mugu.
He is a PC-3 Orion pilot by trade and while he is prepared not to write the obituary for airborne pilots just yet he understands that unmanned systems are booming,
attractive and here to stay. He said chopper pilots were amazed by the performance of the unmanned machines. hey are more stable
