Lockheed Martin Australia will supply a modern C-130J-30 Virtual Maintenance Trainer and a Multi-Function Training Aid (MFTA) to support maintenance and aircrew training at RAAF Base Richmond.

Under the maintenance training contract awarded by the Royal Australian Air Force, Lockheed Martin Australia together with Lockheed Martin Mission Systems and Training in Orlando, Florida, will update two classrooms with high resolution desktop maintenance trainers paired with computer-based training courseware.

Two new developer stations will also enable RAAF C-130J-30 training staff to modify and update the training courseware through the aircraft lifecycle.

Lockheed Martin will also provide aircraft-based simulation.

Through this major upgrade, the Royal Australian Air Force will have a standardised curriculum tailored for its operations and based on decades of C-130 training innovation by Lockheed Martin.

“These capabilities, supported by a network of training services and products across Lockheed Martin’s aircrew training programs, enable the most effective training for the next generation of pilots and maintainers,” said said Raydon Gates, Chief Executive of Lockheed Martin Australia and New Zealand.
