We provide support to the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) across the entire life cycle of the air sector – from design, development and production, through to the provision of aircraft, training, support and maintenance.
BAE Systems Australia’s sustainment of the F-35 aircraft enables us to play a key role in the largest and most advanced military aircraft program in the world. Led by the US Department of Defence and Lockheed Martin, the collaborative F-35 program delivers a stealthy, multi-role attack aircraft capable of operating from both land and sea.
Our F-35 sustainment activities is delivering 400 new jobs over the life of the program. It has enabled opportunities for Australian industry to build a capability set that will remain in service until the middle of the century.
