The Pika was designed to serve as a testbed for the Jindivik pilotless drone.

It was built around the basic Jindivick structure but with a cockpit for the pilot.

Two were constructed and flown in tests.

When the Australian government decided to develop a high speed pilotless target aircraft to meet British and Australian specifications a piloted version was also designed to help in flight testing.

The Pika was designed around the Jindivik structure but with a cockpit and the first one made its first flight on 31 October 1951.

A second Pika subsequently joined the test program.

The first Pika crashed on 5 April 1951 and the pilot was badly injured, but the test program was completed by the second Pika.

As a result, several modifications were made to the Jindivik.

In 1970 the remaining Pika was put on display in the RAAF Museum at Point Cook.

This model represents the second Pika, A93-2.
