The company's contract for the RMI involves a training solution using A109 helicopters which ensures that recently trained junior Navy aircrew skills and motivation continue to be maintained while they await conversion to the RAN's frontline helicopters.
Michael Ward presented his Managing Director's Awards to members of the company's RMI team in recognition of their contribution to the achievement of the 1,500 flying hour milestone.
In the three years Raytheon Australia has been involved in the RMI program the company has demonstrated its ability to deliver efficiencies for the RAN.
"From its inception this program has characterised everything we are about as a company - starting with an ability to understand and anticipate the needs of our customers, through to a capacity to work with them to devise innovative solutions that deliver operational advantage today and prepare the force for the missions of tomorrow," Ward said.
