CAE has awarded a fresh contract with Adacel Technologies to support the RAAF Future Air Mission Training System program.
The Future Air Mission Training System (F-AMTS) program, backed by Phase 3 of Project AIR 5428, seeks to enhance the training technology used by Royal Australian Air Force members to improve air traffic control management strategies and skills by crew.
“Achieving mission readiness for today’s rapidly evolving defence and security landscape requires a training partner who deeply understands the complexity and challenges faced in operations,” said France Hébert, vice president and general manager of CAE.
Adacel, a leading company in air traffic management and control simulation, was awarded the contract with CAE to assist in the program by providing speech, weather and online learning simulated technology.
Adacel’s MaxSim technology will be used to provide the RAAF with both virtual and mixed reality training capabilities.
“This program represents a generational step forward in how Australia trains its mission aircrew and controllers,” said Adacel CEO Daniel Verret.
“Our role is to ensure RAAF controllers and instructors have access to the most immersive, effective and future-ready simulation environment available – developed and sustained by an Australian company with a global track record of excellence.”
Over $300 million has been invested by the Australian government into the F-AMTS program to modernise, strengthen and create complex, real-world scenarios for air traffic controllers and management staff to train with.
“CAE is proud to deliver a future-ready training system that combines innovation, technical advantage and trusted partnerships to help RAAF raise, train and sustain skilled personnel,” Hèbert added.
“This is more than a shift in how training is delivered; it is a strategic investment in Australia’s national resilience and defence capability.”
