The Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) is set to receive its first upgraded transportable air operations tower (TAOT) unit.

The unit has completed the first tranche of a mid-life upgrade (MLU) programme that will eventually be rolled-out across the RAAF's fleet of TAOTs, electronics company Rohde & Schwarz Australia announced on 9 November in a statement.

As part of the MLU, the TAOT has been equipped with new Rohde & Schwarz-supplied internet protocol-based voice communications and recording, airfield monitoring and control, network and time synchronisation systems.
