Yea CAvS would be able to bring in another platform that satisfies the MSASS requirements, which would be another Biz Jet. Not as easy with the RN due to needing to run at least two pods simultaneously either in D Band and E/F Band with high ERP.Me thinks you’re being a little bit naughty, DuckDodgers and you know more than you’re letting on! For instance, if it doesn’t specifically mandate a Falcon 20 and says the air vehicle must be able to achieve 300-350KTAS with 90mins ToT at 100nm from the field with representative role equipment (which for the RAF would be I/J band jammer, TS pod and ACMI pod) then I’d opine that from a commercial perspective you could certainly look to replace a number of aircraft especially if it doesn’t alter the contract value or perhaps at a cheaper cost per flight hour. That is why, I guess, it depends exactly what the verbiage states in the contract.

Perhaps they can bring fast jet aggressor platforms to the UK.That is why, I guess, it depends exactly what the verbiage states in the contract.

So, just because Draken have bought CAvS it does not mean they can now bring onboard fast air as this would go beyond the current contract which other companies would probably take umbrage with.Īs mentioned before, it’ll be really interesting to see where Draken take this. My limited understanding of this SS QDC is that that capability cannot be swapped in or out. When looked at across the entire Cobham Group, Aviation Services made up only 6% of operating profit.CAvS have always done well in terms of the bottom line and they have a contract for the next 4 years which, given the current fiscal Armageddon, is quite an attractive aspect. The previous full year figures were £315.1MM and £12MM respectively, again of that some 65% was from Australia. H1 figures for 2019 were £160MM and £1.2MM respectively, of that 69% was from Aviation Services (Australia). The award for the Single Source Qualifying Defence Contract was provided to cover a gap in a critical service requirement until commencement of the Next Generation Operational Training programme in 2025."Īviation Services was always vulnerable when you look at revenues and operating profit. The contract duration is five years with no option years The total volume of flying hours is up to 6500hrs per annum The total value of the MASS contract is £198,688,602 The answers to questions numbered 1-4 are as follows: "The names of the companies who attended the Information Exchange Day held at HQ Air Command on 25-26 September 2019 are: Mass Consultants Limited DEA Specialised Airborne Operations Babcock International Cobham Aviation Services Thales UK 3SDL Inzpire Limited QinetiQ 2Excel Aviation Ltd Collins Aerospace BAE Systems – Air Lockheed Martin UK Leonardo MW Ltd Hawker Hunter Aviation Ltd, Raytheon UK and Elbit Systems UK. As always, I guess the devil is in the detail of the contract requirements and what is commercially acceptable. I wouldn't be surprised if they try and swap out capability and/or experiment especially as Hawk hours are being reduced and 736 are scheduled to disappear late next year. It’s my understanding that new fighters couldn’t be used as part of this new contract?Thanks FL, managed to find this from FOI data, it looks like MSASS was a done deal given the abject failure of ASDOT. The contract is called MSASS and is entirely separate to the previous O2O contract.
