Mission Success in Aerial Defence Threat Simulation

Operating a 16 strong fleet of fast jet military aircraft, HHA offers tailored training services for all areas of the Armed Forces. The company provides, at short notice, high performance threat simulation aircraft for wet or dry lease at a fraction of the cost of current front line assets, thereby not only generating considerable financial savings but also releasing expensive front line aircraft from support missions that consume both funds and fatigue.

Whilst using the latest NATO practices and procedures, our flying time is committed to the client and focussed on their specific training requirements. Therefore military personnel never have to sacrifice their training time to train the opposing forces – we undertake what is required to meet your bespoke needs. Uniquely, HHA can operate on the UK military register under the AvP67 MRCOA guidelines regulate by the TAA and TESD at Boscombe Down. For the client this means we integrate seamlessly with NATO procedures.
