Provision of adversary air training services is accelerating in the lucrative US market

Red air adversary specialist Airborne Tactical Advantage Company (ATAC) will continue to provide the USN and USMC with training support under the Fighter Jet Services (FJS) programme.

The company will provide up to 8,500 flight hours per year of fleet support air training services for approximately five years, under an indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract worth up to $441 million.

Training will be provided using the ATAC fleet of Mirage F1, F-21 Kfir, and Hawker Hunter Mk58 (pictured) aircraft. Work is expected to commence in the spring of 2021 when the current contract expires.
