L'acrobat wrote in message ... http://australianit.news.com.au/arti...19%5E%5Enbv%5E 15306,00.html ASYLUM-seekers and illegal fishing vessels are the targets of a likely $150 million investment in the Global Hawk pilotless spy plane. Global Hawk has been slotted into the Defence Department's Project Air 7000 plan as a partial replacement for the Air Force's AP-3C Orion. Officially classified as an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), Global Hawk can stay airborne for 36 hours, scanning an area the size of Tasmania in 24 hours. Eh? Taswegia? Taswegia = approx 26k sq miles (www.goway.com/downunder/australia/tasmania/) however the Global Hawk is supposed to be able to scan 40k sq miles in 24 hours .............(http://www.fas.org/irp/program/colle...026_991973.htm )
