Delamere Air Weapons Range

Delamere Air Weapons Range is a Royal Australian Air Force training facility near Katherine where pilots and crew members practice air-to-ground operations. The site contains multiple training zones with targets and practice areas designed for different types of weapon exercises and tactical maneuvers.

The facility was established in 1988 as a dedicated space for Australian air force training operations. It developed over time to accommodate modern aircraft and evolving tactical training requirements.

The range features a simulation township constructed from shipping containers known as Tac Town for military forces to practice urban warfare scenarios.

Access to the site is restricted because it is an active military facility with ongoing training operations. The area offers views from nearby public vantage points, though the range itself is not open to general visitors.

The range connects electronically with other training areas to form an integrated defense training network. This electronic linking allows coordinated exercises across multiple locations for complex operational scenarios.
