Successful A330 MRTT flight test campaign for F-15 fighters automatic refuelling
Getafe – Airbus and the Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF) worked together to successfully complete the automatic air-to-air refuelling (A3R) flight test campaign with the Airbus A330 Multi Role Tanker Transport (MRTT) and F-15 fighter, ahead of its certification in the first half of 2024.

Over the course of three weeks in August, a RSAF A330 MRTT made more than 500 automated wet and dry contacts with the air force’s full fleet of receiver aircraft, including the F-15SG aircraft, a customised variant of the US-built F-15E Strike Eagle air-to-ground fighter jet.

“The A330 MRTT has made the future of air-to-air refuelling a reality as a result of the joint efforts of Airbus and the Republic of Singapore Air Force,” said Jean-Brice Dumont, Head of Military Air Systems at Airbus Defence and Space. “This new milestone will enable the RSAF to become the first Air Force in the world to have a boom automatic refuelling capability with all of its receivers, a capability that can be extended to refuelling receivers from other nations”.

The flight tests with F-15SG were conducted in Singapore, covering the whole operational AAR envelope in different weather conditions under the supervision of the Spanish certifying authority, called INTA (National Institute for Aerospace Technology).

During the test campaign, further flights were carried out in night conditions, not only with F-15s but also with the RSAF’s A330 MRTT and F-16s as receivers for data collection, to complete the development and enable night capabilities with the automated system. 

In July 2022, the A330 MRTT became the world’s first tanker certified for automatic air-to-air refuelling operations in daylight conditions with F-16s and A330 MRTTs as receivers.

The automatic refuelling system reduces air-refuelling operator workload, improves safety and optimises the air-to-air refuelling transfer rate in operational conditions to maximise air superiority.

Combat proven since 2014, the Airbus A330 MRTT is certified for aerial refuelling with both boom and hose-and-drogue systems for F-15, F-16, F-35, A330 MRTT, AWACS, Eurofighter and many more aircraft.

    2. Yup... but the standard mrtt330.
      You need upgrade to autonomous system which will cost more. Hopefully they can upgrade once they get the aircraft.
      The reason the system is not available because its still under trial with Singapore MRTT.
      Hopefully next year the system is available for all MRTT USERS

  3. The United States formally approved the sale of Denmark’s F-16 combat aircraft to Argentina, along with a financing package that would accelerate the purchase process amidst the country’s challenging economic situation.
    Although the total approved for the transfer is 32 aircraft, sources close to the operation indicated that if it proceeds, Argentina would incorporate those of the Block 15 batch: 16 single-seat of the variant A and 8 two-seaters F-16B would be realized.

      The DE allocation is for services and supply RM1.3 billion and assets RM5.7 billion. The DE for the Army is RM1.1 billion for assets and RM190 million for the construction. The RMN is getting RM1.9 billion for assets and RM122 million for construction. RMAF is getting RM2 billion for assets and RM23 million for construction. The rest of the DE allocation is for joint services, quarters, research and development and other services
