Top Aces Awarded Contract for Advanced Airborne Training by the German Armed Forces

Montreal: April 26, 2021 - Top Aces is pleased to announce that it has been awarded the fast speed adversary air training services contract by the German Armed Forces (“Bundeswehr”) effective January 1st, 2022. Operating out of the Wittmundhafen Air Base, Top Aces has been providing advanced airborne training to the Bundeswehr for the past 6 years and plans to invest over $100M CAD in furtherance of the new contract.

With a continuous focus on innovation, Top Aces is introducing advanced new capabilities that will raise the bar for the adversary air industry. Beginning in 2017, Top Aces has made significant investments in R&D to develop a proprietary Advanced Aggressor Mission System (AAMS) that allows for the use of state-of-the-art Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radar and Infrared Search-and-Track (IRST) systems on a variety of aircraft types including Top Aces’ A-4N Skyhawk and F-16 Fighting Falcon. The AAMS is a revolutionary new technology that allows its aircraft to simulate the most advanced capabilities of modern-day opponents in air-to-air combat. Flight testing and certification of the AAMS on Top Aces’ A-4N Skyhawk have been completed, enabling the Company to begin delivering AAMS missions to Germany and to demonstrate this capability to potential customers in North America and Europe.
