The Albanese Government is accelerating the acquisition of cutting-edge drone and counter-drone technologies for the Australian Defence Force (ADF), investing more than $10 billion in drones over the next decade, including at least $4.3 billion in uncrewed aerial systems. This investment will help keep Australians safe and protect our military assets.
“We have accelerated the acquisition of an appropriate mix of drone capabilities to suit Australia’s environment of military interest and are continuing to examine new autonomous capabilities.”
Minister for Defence Industry, Pat Conroy
As a Queensland-based sovereign manufacturer, we play a key role in delivering innovative, Australian-engineered drone platforms that support defence, emergency services and national security. Our inclusion in this investment reflects the trusted performance and strategic value of our Mozzie™ Unmanned Aerial System (UAS), designed for complex and high-risk environments.
“Australian industry is critical to delivering this technology, and they are demonstrating world leading innovation while creating Australian jobs.”
Minister for Defence Industry, Pat Conroy
Keelback, a subsidiary of Grabba Technologies, are honoured to contribute to this national effort. We are focused on delivering sovereign capability that supports our troops, protects critical infrastructure, and strengthens Australia’s defence industry.
