Extract

While the development of the Turana drone forms a short and well defined programme, such programme would not have been possible without the preceding Australian activity on drones and guided weapons.

It might be appropriate to outline briefly this activity, since the approach to various problems of Turana and the solution of certain difficulties depended on the experience gained with the Jindivik, Malkara and Ikara.
