The Project

Delamere Air Weapons Range is a bombing range operated by the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF), located in the Northern Territory 120km south of Katherine and RAAF Base Tindal. The range covers over half a million acres and is undoubtedly one of Australia’s premier weapons ranges.
VAE were engaged by Lend Lease to provide a stand-alone air conditioning system to the range operations centre, central facilities, visitor and accommodation facilities, maintenance buildings and various other buildings including ordnance stores. The mechanical plant included packaged air conditioning units and Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) split systems, including advanced graphics to assist in remote diagnosis.
The new facilities at Delamere Air Weapons Range used for Exercise Diamond Storm 2019. *** Local Caption *** Exercise Diamond Storm is one of the Royal Australian Air Force’s practical components of training for students of the Air Warfare Instructor’s Course (AWIC) coordinated by the Air Warfare Centre.

AWIC19 integrates warfighting functions across a range of specialisations to develop expert air warfare instructors who will represent the next generation of tactical and integrated warfare experts across the Air Combat spectrum.

Diamond Storm 2019 is being conducted from RAAF Bases Darwin and Tindal, in the skies over the “Top End” of the Northern Territory, from 26 April until 29 May 2019.
