Nova Systems Joins CAE-led Team AUStringer

CAE Australia Pty Ltd. has signed a teaming agreement with Nova Systems to join Team AUStringer, which will respond to the Project AIR 5428 Phase 3 Aviation Mission Training System solicitation for the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF).

Under terms of the teaming agreement, Nova Systems will support the CAE-led Team AUStringer with professional and engineering services, including leveraging Nova Systems’ experience with the introduction into service of the AIR 5428 Phase 1 program.

With both Cobham and Nova Systems now part of Team AUStringer, we are demonstrating our commitment to developing a sovereign Aviation Mission Training System that builds Australia’s industry capability,” said Matthew Sibree, Managing Director, Indo-Pacific, CAE Australia Pty Ltd.

The Aviation Mission Training System (AMTS) will be utilised to train the RAAF’s mission aviators, including electronic warfare officers, maritime patrol and response officers, air battle managers, air traffic controllers, and other mission specialists.  The AMTS, to be deployed at the Air Academy located at RAAF Base East Sale in Victoria, will feature a comprehensive training solution including ground-based and airborne training and a digitally-enabled integrated learning environment.

As the prime contractor leading Team AUStringer, CAE will leverage its global experience training military aircrew, including mission aviators for customers such as the U.S. Navy, U.S. Air Force, Royal Air Force, Royal Navy, Royal Canadian Air Force and the RAAF.  For example, CAE currently supports the delivery of training to RAAF aircrew on platforms such as the C-130J, KC-30A, AP-3C, and Hawk Mk127.
