UAVAIR is providing drone training at 11 locations across the country in support of the Army Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) Drone program.
"UAVAIR have significant expertise in commercial drone training and the continuation of the contract with the Australian Army UAS/Drone program is recognition for the skills and capability that UAVAIR provide in delivering industry leading drone training across Australia," UAVAIR general manager David Mann said.
The drone training contract for the Australian Army began last year, and has provided additional jobs and opportunity for the emerging Australian drone industry, as UAVAIR has been able to expand its instructor pool in this emerging technology space.
“UAVAIR is enhancing the contribution and development of the Australian defence industry and we are very honoured to be part of the work force behind the Defence Force, in this case to deliver drone training to the Australian Army," Mann said.
"We are very well positioned to provide supplier training to other government and emergency services agencies, education providers and schools around Australia.”
Australian Army Unmanned Aerial Systems, Staff Officer Grade One, Lieutenant Colonel Keirin Joyce said that he thinks UAVAIR’s point of difference is its flexibility and recommended its drone training services.
“UAVAIR was chosen through an open tender to be our training service provider," LTCOL Joyce said.
"I think they would be an excellent, flexible collaborator for any emergency services provider, or schools or anybody else that’s looking to develop their own multirotor unmanned aerial systems capability or projects.”
