Payne further said that the company is also responsible for providing the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) with specialist Jet Air Support that would help strengthen fast jet air operations training through mission type scenarios.
Payne added: “The Turnbull Government is investing A$200bn in our defence capability over the next decade to ensure the ADF is equipped to succeed in our challenging strategic environment.”
