Dear New Zealand Defence Force,
I am writing to request information under the official information act on the following drone announcement https://www.beehive.govt.nz/release/kiwi... made on 26 Feb 26.
I understand the need for commercial sensitivity but can you please provide:
A high level indication of the scale of the funds alloacted by NZDF (including defence units and agencies) for this work with these 3 suppliers in total.
This could be presented as a range of spend as an example $1-5 million to assist with maintaining commercial sensitivity if this was required.
