New training initiative for AAFC
JAR Aerospace, a New South Wales-based company, will work with Australian Air Force Cadets (AAFC) in a joint training initiative, the Australian Department of Defence announced on 27 February.
The new initiative will focus on science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) based training and will help cadets to learn and keep pace with technologies being adopted by the Royal Australian Air Force.
As part of the initiative, the AAFC has ordered more than 3,000 micro-UAS from JAR Aerospace. Working with JAR Aerospace will ensure that every cadet, irrespective of his/her location, has access to engaging and educational STEM courses using UAS technology.
The initiative will be rolled out to the AAFC from 1 July 2019.
