The waves are expected to comprise aircraft including Orion AP-3C, Neptune SP-2H, Spitfire Mk IX, Grumman Tracker S-2G, Dakota C-47, two Caribou DHC-4, and Iroquois Huey UH-1B.
Air Component Commander, Air Commodore Shaun Sexton, said operational trials and development were an important part of the introduction into service of a modern aircraft like the Poseidon.
The aircraft, from RAAF Bases Edinburgh, Amberley, and Williamtown, cooperated with HMA Ships Hobart and Sydney in the exercise from 17 March to 3 April.
The initiative is part of a partnership between businesses Beca, Copernicus Technology, Aquila Learning, and Catalyst Cloud.
The original aircraft was damaged beyond repair while taking off over the Nellis Test and Training Range in Nevada in preparation for the start of Exercise Red Flag 18-1.
The airlifter safely touched down with the samples in special powered cold boxes as they were transferred from Casey Station to Hobart earlier this month.
