	Integrated networks key to Aust defence future- Boeing
		Australia's military was likely to follow the lead of its larger ally, the US, in developing integrated defence networks, the vice president of jet manufacturer Boeing said Monday.

	Australia's New $500 Million Top Secret Weapons In The "War On Terror"
