CANBERRA, Australia, April 4 (UPI) -- Lockheed Martin Australia and Pilatus Aircraft have submitted a joint bid to provide the Australian Defense Force with a new pilot training system.
The two companies’ consortium, supported by Hawker Pacific, is known as Team 21 and submitted its proposal for the military’s AIR 5428 Pilot Training System earlier this week. The proposal is based on a proven training system configured to Australian requirements to deliver a fifth-generation training system that meets current and future needs.
