The Camcopter S-100 has become the first vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) system to receive the approval and will now be able to operate in Australian civil aerospace. The capability received a Defence Aviation Safety Authority Permit in 2017, granted to the Royal Australian Navy.
The new F-35 aircraft are designed with a Technology Refresh-3 package which includes additional munitions capabilities, target recognition, jamming, cyber security, sensor and user interface improvements, processing and data storage enhancements.
The program of works includes the upgrade or rebuild of infrastructure and facilities at the base in North Queensland.
The federal government said the extra money would be used to fund the next stage of the program, including the delivery of three aircraft that have “enhanced design and improved capabilities”.
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Defence Richard Marles, speaking to an ABC television interview on 7 February, reaffirmed the government’s decision to scrap the Australian Defence Force transport helicopters ahead of their planned withdrawal date and dispose of them domestically.
