UAVs to service mines in Qld

News item on ABC Drones to conduct mine aerial surveillance - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

UAV Australia have ordered 2 planes (for Gladestone & Mackay) to provide aerial surveillance and for delivery of "critical spare parts" (up to 30kg).

Quote from the company "The idea of taking humans out of the scenario means it's cheaper."

Wonder whether this will work (the delivery side of things at least).

regards
Neil
