asked the Minister representing the Minister for Defence, upon notice, on 5 July 2011:

Given that video communications are integrated into robots, soldiers and unmanned aerial vehicles, network-centric warfare is becoming the organising principle of war fighting, and frontline demands for bandwidth are rising at a rapid rate, for the period 1 January to 30 June 2011, what did the Australian Defence Force do and how much did it spend on:

(1) establishing a network centric-warfare capability; and

(2) addressing the issue of increased bandwidth?
