The Federal government has today opened a Hypersonic Research Precinct at Eagle Farm. 

Defence minister Peter Dutton launched the $14 million precinct which provides a location for defence, industry, universities and international partners aimed to assist hypersonic technology through flight test vehicles. 

The research centre was helped developed by the University of Queensland, and hopes to ‘better defend against the malign use of technology’ and deter aggression against Australia’s national interests.
