What about:

1. The SYPAQ's "cardboard drones" are a notable Australian innovation, reported to cost between $1,000 and $5,000 apiece, is made from waxed cardboard and uses off-the-shelf hardware. Very useful in the Ukraine.

2. Ship anti-missile defence system. Declared to be the best in the world. The Yanks creamed their jeans over it. We sell them the hardware, but retain absolute control of the operating software.

3. The Jindavik target drone (now out of date).

The list of CSIRO inventions is huge, and chief amongst those inventions was the Atomic Adsorption Spectrometer, an extremely valuable invention that was of huge use in the minerals industry, but which then went on to find many other uses, such as in criminal investigations. An AAS can find the concentrations of up to 70 different elements in a very small sample.
