The Defence Materiel Organisation celebrates the production of the 1,000th Nulka active missile decoy round

“The Nulka decoy is one of the most successful Electronic Warfare projects undertaken in Australia. It uses a unique combination of a hovering rocket and electronic warfare technologies to mislead or attract enemy missiles away from the target ship.

Nulka is in service with the Royal Australian Navy, the United States Navy and the Canadian Navy and there are almost 140 ships protected by Nulka, with plans to increase that number to over 180 ships over the next few years.

In October 2010 the 1000th round has been delivered and all have been to schedule, quality and cost which is an impressive achievement by Nulka Prime Contractor BAE Systems Australia. Nulka is assembled in Australia from sub-assemblies produced in Australia and the US.
