Triumph’s repair procedures and spares pool for the F/A-18 AMAD product line is used by RUAG at its facilities in Interlaken/Wilderswil, Switzerland to support the international military operators.
The licence agreement also allows Triumph to sustain all non-US military F/A-18 AMAD customers through RUAG.
This further ensures the companies together provide readiness for different F/A-18 A-D variants to various international operators.

The F/A-18 Hornet fighter aircraft is primarily used for traditional strike applications, including close air support and interdiction.
The US Navy, fighter attack squadrons of the US Marine Corps and Marine Corps Reserve squadrons use the F/A-18 A-D variants.
RUAG Life Cycle Management Air business unit head Christian Roduner said: “The close partnership we have maintained with Triumph enables us to support our military customers with value added solutions, while supporting sustainment and readiness levels.”
In June 2020, Triumph Group’s company Triumph Systems & Support – Mechanical Solutions was awarded a contract to supply mechanical controls for the US Navy’s Advanced Helicopter Training System programme.
