SHARE

Cirrus Managing Director Mr. Peter Freed has announced that DMO Training Aircraft Systems Program Office (TASPO) has exercised an option to extend by three years the supply by Cirrus of support to the Air Combat Officer Training System (ACO-TS). 

ACO-TS is housed at the RAAF School of Air Warfare (SAW, East Sale) and provides simulation based training of Air Combat Officers in the management of own ship’s mission using moving map displays, the collation of track feeds from on and off-board sensors, the compilation and management of the tactical picture, and the operation of radar, Electro-Optic and other sensors. 

The Cirrus ACO-TS is based on Cirrus’ Simulation Training Network and Sensor Simulation Engine (STN & SSE) technologies. 

Mr Freed stated that "We are very pleased to continue supporting the RAAF’s simulation training of Air Combat Officers. This awarding of this contract extension highlights the very real technical capacity of Australia’s indigenous high technology SME sector, and its practical, road-tested suitability for supporting ADF capabilities over an extended time frame.”
