The U.S. Navy recently awarded Boeing [NYSA: BA<\/a>] a Foreign Military Sales (FMS) contract, valued at $109 million, to provide P-8A Poseidon training for the Royal New Zealand Air Force (RNZAF). A suite of training systems and courseware will prepare RNZAF aircrew and maintainers to safely and effectively operate and maintain the world\u2019s premier maritime patrol and reconnaissance aircraft for decades to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boeing\u2019s holistic P-8 training system will enable the RNZAF to conduct up to 70 percent of all Poseidon-related training in a simulated environment. As part of the contract, Boeing will provide:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Operational Flight Trainer (OFT)<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Full-motion simulator incorporates all P-8 unique displays and switches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weapons Tactics Trainer<\/strong>\u2013 Simulates mission systems and tactical operations, and when coupled with the OFT, forms a Weapons Systems Trainer that enables multi-crew, high-fidelity mission rehearsal training in the same simulated environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Virtual Maintenance<\/strong>\u00a0Trainer<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Enables training of maintenance professionals to properly perform maintenance tasks and procedures on the P-8A aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scenario Generation Station<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Creates custom scenarios for mission training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brief\/Debrief Station<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Provides post-mission analysis and playback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, Boeing\u2019s Electronic Classroom will give RNZAF instructors and students access to courseware and testing capabilities. Boeing also will provide initial Instructor Cadre Training to a group of RNZAF instructors, enabling them to continue training additional RNZAF P-8A instructors and aircrews following delivery of the training system in early 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis holistic training system will enable aircrew to safely train for all aspects of flying and maintaining the P-8A Poseidon,\u201d said Tonya Noble, director of International Defense Training for Boeing. \u201cWe look forward to bringing these training capabilities in-country and working alongside the RNZAF to ensure readiness of aircrew and maintenance personnel.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All training will be conducted in Ohakea, New Zealand. In March 2020, the RNZAF acquired four P-8A Poseidon aircraft through the U.S. Navy FMS process, with expected delivery beginning in 2023. New Zealand is one of seven nations operating the P-8.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
