新西兰计划在太平洋使用无人机进行海上监视,这是120亿美元的国防增强的一部分。 New Zealand plans to use drones in the Pacific for maritime surveillance, part of a $12 billion defense boost.

新西兰国防部正在寻求投入,在整个太平洋部署无人监视飞机,以加强其专属经济区的海洋监测,并支持区域伙伴,这是2025年国防能力计划下1亿至3亿美元项目的一部分。 New Zealand’s Ministry of Defence is seeking input on deploying surveillance drones across the Pacific to boost maritime monitoring in its exclusive economic zone and support regional partners, part of a $100 million to $300 million project under the 2025 Defence Capability Plan. 该倡议可以考虑其他解决办法,旨在加强远程监视,并在四年内与更广泛的120亿美元的国防升级挂钩。 The initiative, which may consider other solutions, aims to enhance long-range surveillance and is tied to a broader $12 billion defense upgrade over four years. 预计国防开支将在八年内从国内生产总值的1%以上增加到2%以上,这是自1990年代初以来的最高水平。 Defense spending is projected to rise from over 1% to more than 2% of GDP within eight years, the highest level since the early 1990s. 今年晚些时候将根据专家的反馈意见拟订一个商业案例。 A business case will be developed later this year based on expert feedback.
