1. Evolving to new roles:
- VVIP Transport
- ISR capabilities
- Airborne Comms Node
2. Pioneering new technologies:
- Predictive Maintenance
- Automatic AAR (A3R)
Expanding Roles and Capabilities
A330 MRTT has mastered AAR missions thanks to its combat proven Vision System and interoperable Refuelling Systems.
Now the Tanker of Choice is starting the journey to evolve to the most versatile Multi-Mission Tanker Aircraft of the Future.

The A330 MRTT hasspare capacity to takeadvantage of digitaltechnologies and befitted with a wide range ofsensors to enhance itsfeatures beyond air-to-airrefuelling and airtransport
Smart MRTT: More than a Tanker
• Automatic AAR (A3R) • Predictive Maintenance
The certification of the Automatic Air-to-Air Refuelling capability on the A330 MRTT will be achieved in 2021
A3R: Operational Benefits
• Reduces the risk inherent
to AAR operations
• Reduces operator’s
workload and maximizes
operational efficiency,
increasing the accuracy
of contacts
• Reduce the time required
to achieve the mission
• Provide to the receiver
more information for a
better positioning
27
Predictive Maintenance
Enhanced on-ground and on-board systems to offer improved and predictive maintenance on the military systems.
Main interface with maintenance staff for military systems, provides:
- Reduced existing Ground Support Equipment
- Minimized aircraft turn-around time
- Lower maintenance cost for the entire fleet
This new functionality for the A330 MRTT, available by 2021, enables both digitalization and big data trends towards a more efficient way to prepare the aircraft and increase its availability.
