based at RAAF Wagga.

This extension of FlightPro™ from the management of training and operational flying units is a first for Australia and is the natural progression for a tool that has proven itself in the UK, Canada and Finland, as a true enterprise/force wide system, capable of delivering improved efficiencies to all areas of a defence force. "The more organisations that utilise FlightPro™ the more efficiencies are realised. After all, aircrew, controlling agencies and technical staff are all valuable resources that combine to deliver the final capability; its common sense to leverage the real time communications capability delivered within this one Product to manage all of these resources", stated Adam Hogan, Ocean's Sales & Marketing Director.

FlightPro™ was first used to manage technical training at the Typhoon Training Facility (TTF) based at RAF Coningsby in the UK. There FlightPro™ manages the training of all maintenance technicians for the Typhoon program and was recently extended from the school house to allow competency recording and reporting for Typhoon maintenance technicians both on the line and in the depth bays. Notably, FlightPro™ is also used to manage all Typhoon simulator training for aircrew at the same facility.

The contract covers User Licenses up to an Entity License, Maintenance and Support, and Training and Professional Services to support the implementation of FlightPro™ to all Air Force units.

This acquisition extends the implementation of FlightPro™ in Canada from the training environment where it has managed the NATO Flight Training Canada (NFTC) operation since 2003, to the operational side of the Air Force; providing continuity to the aircrew and the opportunity to leverage a recruitment to retirement solution for the Canadian Forces.

"Ocean Software is very pleased to be further extending its Unit Level Tool concept that began initially in Australia under the JP2030 Ph7b project and has extended to Finland and now Canada. This selection in my opinion is evidence that FlightPro™ is the leading solution globally in the increasingly complex military flight operations and training management market", said Adam Hogan, Ocean's Sales & Marketing Director. "With recent interest shown by a number of other countries and units, both training and operational, the future is very bright for both Ocean and its flagship product, FlightPro™".
