Boeing vice-president and general manager of Network & Tactical Systems Charles Toups said the tests marked the final engineering release of the system and formally verify that Boeing has met 95% of the requirements for Vigilare.
The factory acceptance test verified Vigilare’s enhanced data processing and display, fault detection and isolation, and interactive replay requirements with a 98% compliance rate.
Vigilare entered service with the RAAF at the Northern Regional Operations Centre installation at RAAF Base Tindal, Northern Territory on 2 September.
