The Albanese Government is investing more than $300 million to transform air mission training, ensuring our Defence personnel are ready for the challenges of tomorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Future Air Mission Training System (F-AMTS) will increase Defence\u2019s aircrew training capacity by up to 70 per cent, using cutting-edge simulation, modern courseware, and real-world training to prepare crews for advanced platforms such as the MC-55A Peregrine and MQ-4C Triton. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This investment will upgrade training systems that support initial training for personnel operating the Royal Australian Air Force\u2019s (RAAF) advanced air and ground-based capabilities and includes a new facility for the Air Mission Training School.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It will create up to 140 local jobs in acquisition and 50 ongoing jobs in sustainment, delivered in partnership with CAE Australia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Featuring an integrated learning environment, the system will combine classroom instruction, advanced simulation technologies, and airborne training to deliver an immersive, world-class training experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Capability delivery will commence at RAAF Base East Sale in Gippsland, Victoria from 2026, strengthening Australia\u2019s sovereign training capability while driving innovation and building critical skills for the future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
