Cirrus Real Time Processing Systems has secured a contract with an undisclosed European Union country to deliver its Air Combat Officer Training System (ACOTS).
“We are a proud Australian company delivering Australian developed technology to Defence. Consistent with the Defence Industry Development Strategy (“DIDS”) recognition that exports grow both the resilience of Australia’s defence industry base and industry’s capacity to support Defence, I am very pleased to announce that Cirrus has secured an export order to an EU nation for the ACOTS system in support of air mission training," said Cirrus’ Managing Director, Peter Freed.
ACOTS was developed by Cirrus Real Time Processing Systems in collaboration with instructors from the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) Air Mission Training School. It simulates navigation systems and sensors, including multi-mode radar, tactical data links, electro-optic and Infra-red (EO/IR) sensors and other equipment. It has been in RAAF service since 2011 and also been exported to Brunei.
"This export order confirms the quality and competitiveness on the world market of Cirrus’ ACOTS – an Australian developed simulation technology - and underscores the industrial capabilities resident in Australia for air mission training."
