Visitors to the Australian War Memorial will be able to watch soldiers at work in real time, as part of a half-a-billion-dollar redevelopment of the Canberra institution.

The project will cost $498 million and be completed over the next nine years.

The plans are expected to include a complete redesign of the memorial's lower ground floor and a new underground exhibition hall to display large items such as helicopters and jet fighters and a live feed of current defence activities.

The monument's director Brendan Nelson has told Sky News the revamp is about recognising and supporting Australia's service men and women.
