Dear New Zealand Defence Force,

 

I am writing to request information under the official information act on
the following drone announcement
[6]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.

 

Please confirm allocated budget only, not any future potential spend.

 

Kind Regards

 

Graeme Doull
