The Australian Government has confirmed a purchase of six MQ-4C Tritons with a whole of capability cost of $6.9B. Yes you read that number right!
The RAAF have 12 P-8A's confirmed with an option for 3 more to replace the P-3 Orions plus the Australian Maritime Border Command has 10 Dash 8's in service for customs and illegal fisheries monitoring.
When one considers further surveillance capabilities such as six E-7A's, 12 Growlers, and 5 G550 EW ordered aircraft the RAAF are really on a roll at present.
