Manufacturers Amphibian Aerospace Industries (AAI) said the new generation G-111T is an “incredible aircraft of great and practical use to humanity” because of its huge variety of uses.
The first two of the fifth-generation jet arrived on 2 December with another pair landing one week later. In total, 16 of Australia’s final fleet of 72 will be based in the NT, with the remaining aircraft at RAAF Base Williamtown in NSW.
The Australian Defence Force will scrap its entire fleet of troubled MRH-90 Taipan helicopters 16 years ahead of schedule, in favour of a new fleet of US Blackhawks and Seahawks.
The pair said they will specifically investigate using automated monitoring and secure coding in their bid for the Commonwealth government’s $2.7 billion AIR 6500 Phase 1 project.
It comes alongside news the Commonwealth government will separately invest an additional $60 million in a support program to help Australian companies compete for sustainment contracts on the next-generation fighter.
The 1st Aviation Regiment deployed a squadron of Armed Reconnaissance Helicopter Tigers to California in August and September to work alongside their US Marine Corps counterparts.
