英国宇航公司(BAe)计划为澳大利亚武装力量提供配套的武器以满足其对新型空空导弹、反辐射导弹、反舰导弹、防空导弹和防区外发射空地导弹日渐增长的需求。 由BAe提出的方案是基于早先的建议,即共同建立“海上贼鸥”支持体系以支援直升机发射反舰导弹。它声称这样可以扩大目前澳大利亚在考虑的各种BAe导弹系统的范围。 BAe建议澳大利亚不要只简单地、一批一批地选购新型导弹系统,而应交叉考虑到各种配套方案 BAe plans to equip the Australian Armed Forces with complementary weapons to meet its growing demand for new types of airspace-to-air missiles, anti-radiation missiles, anti-ship missiles, anti-aircraft missiles and ground-based SAMs. The proposal put forward by BAe is based on the earlier proposal to jointly establish a “sea skua” support system to support the helicopter launch of anti-ship missiles. It claims it would widen the range of BAe missile systems currently under consideration in Australia. BAe advised Australia not to buy new missile systems simply and batch by batch but should consider cross-cutting packages
