CAE Australia has announced that air space safety company Adacel has joined the CAE-led Team AUStringer in response to the Commonwealth of Australia’s Project Air 5428 Phase 3, for RAAF’s Future Air Mission Training System (F-AMTS).
Together with partners Adacel, Leidos, Milskil, and Nova Systems, CAE aims to partner with the Royal Australian Air Force to deliver a world-class training institution for Australia’s mission aviators.
“As an Australian company, Adacel has been at the forefront of developing and deploying the world’s most widely used ATC Tower simulation and training solution,” said Daniel Verret, Adacel CEO.
“With over a decade of experience supporting RAAF’s ATC training programs, we are thrilled to partner with CAE, a renowned global training solutions provider. Together, we aim to create and deliver advanced ATC solutions that offer a highly immersive training environment, to meet and surpass RAAF’s specific training goals.”
Adacel will support CAE Australia in the provision of training solutions and services to deliver Air Traffic Control (ATC) training integrated within the F-AMTS located at RAAF Base East Sale, Victoria. ATC candidates and postgraduate students represent a significant number of mission aviators trained in Australia.
“Air Traffic Controllers play a vital role in ensuring aviation safety and facilitating efficient operations of aircraft,” said Matthew Sibree, Managing Director Indo-Pacific, CAE Defense & Security.
“Military flight operations and military air traffic controllers make critical decisions, often under immense pressure, whilst operating in complex environments. The foundational skills and post-graduate qualifications developed through the AMTS are essential to ensuring each graduate is mission-ready.”
An invitation to register for Phase 3 was released in February 2022, and the next stage of the program will place tendered solutions into a competitive evaluation process prior to government consideration in 2024.
