RAAF air traffic control program boosted by CAE and Adacel contract

“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 a contract with CAE to assist with the program by providing simulated speech, weather, and online learning 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 chief executive 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 in the F-AMTS program to modernise and strengthen, and to create complex, real-world scenarios for air traffic controllers and management staff to train on.

“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,” added Hèbert.

“This is more than a shift in how training is delivered; it is a strategic investment in Australia’s national resilience and defense capability.”
