The article reports that autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles are seen by Australian military planners as fundamental to the nation's network-centric, warfighting capabilities beyond 2020. Lockheed Martin Corp. designed Joint Strike Fighters (JSF) in order to field a stealthy, unmanned reconnaissance aircraft. It is expected that the unmanned combat air vehicle would have intelligence-gathering capabilities much like the JSF, which carries an extensive set of sensitive digital receivers for electronic surveillance.
