Confidence in the capabilities produced by Australia's most successful collaborative defence program, the Nulka ship-launched active missile decoy, has been reinforced by plans to deploy it on US Navy (USN) nuclear aircraft carriers.
Although this decision has yet to be announced either in Australia or the US, details are included in USN 2010 budget papers.
Nulka brings together hovering rocket, autonomous systems and electronics technologies to lure enemy anti-ship missiles with active radar seekers away from their targets.
