Australia, United States, Sign 25 Year Missile Defense Pact

July 7, 2004 :: Department of Defense :: News

The United States and Australia today signed in Washington a memorandum of understanding which describes Australia’s future cooperation in missile defense.
        Areas of cooperation include technological transfer, and the use of long range “over the horizon” land-based radars in Australia, such as the DUNDEE project most recently tested in April, as well as the giving to Australia ship-based radars and interception capabilities, such as the Aegis system.

Before signing, Australian Defense Minister Robert Hill also noted that an April test of the Australian land-based DUNDEE project radar (also called Jindalee, or JORN) had been successful. The trials were reportedly conducted near the northern Australian city of Darwin, in the presence of U.S. officials. (Article)
