Defence procurement bungles and wins

[LP]

We have eight Triton UAS and, as they are modified for maritime surveillance, I suspect that they are a little more expensive than your standard Global Hawk.

I saw the early version of the Triton at the Melbourne Airshow years back, they are rather impressive and had the Global Hawk on the tarmac next to it. Triton was significantly chunkier build and I gather this reflects it's potential payloads, Wikipedia claims they are dimensionally the same but I doubt that, I suspect they have just used the Global Hawk data for the Trition page.
