CANBERRA, Australia, July 29 (UPI) -- The Australian government has given preliminary approval for updating the launch system of the Nulka Active Missile Decoy system.
The system, developed in collaboration with the United States in the 1990s, is a rocket propelled decoy with the ability to hover in-air to lure incoming missiles from their target. They are in service on Royal Australian and U.S. Navy ships.
