The army expects to bring the Tiger into operational service in mid-2008.
Army Aviation Systems director general Brigadier Andrew Dudgeon says the Tiger is an exciting new platform for the Australian Defence Force providing both reconnaissance and light attack capabilities in support of ground troops.
“The FFMS is a state-of-the-art flight simulator with two separate modules replicating the front and back cockpits of the ARH Tiger,” he says.
“The suite of ground training devices allows us to teach our maintainers and ground handlers most of the skills they need before they touch a real aircraft.”
