The Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) has received its first MC-55A Peregrine aircraft at RAAF Base Edinburgh, marking a significant step in enhancing its electronic warfare and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities. This acquisition, part of a 2019 foreign military sales deal, will replace the aging AP-3C Orion and integrate into Australia's joint warfighting networks. Additional support facilities are planned at various bases to facilitate operational testing and evaluation.
