CAE Australia has upgraded the RAAF's C-13OJ Hercules full-flight and mission simulator (FFMS) at Richmond to provide additional tactical training capabilities. The upgrade was completed on budget and without taking the simulator out of service.The company, which is prime contractor under the Management and Support of the ADF Aerospace Simulators (MSAAS) contract, upgraded the C-13OJ simulator with a new Radar Warning Receiver (RWR) simulation. Instructors will be able to insert various radar threats into the simulator training sessions to provide RAAF aircrews with realistic tactical mission training scenarios. "The addition of the RWR simulation to the C-13OJ simulator is consistent with the Commonwealth's objective to ensure the RAAF's training systems are concurrent with the platforms they simulate," said Peter Redman, acting Managing Director, CAE Australia Pty Ltd. "We completed this simulator upgrade without any downtime to current training, and in advance of the upgrades being completed on the actual aircraft. The RAAF C-130J aircrews will now be well-trained and prepared as the RWR-capable Hercules aircraft re-enter service."
