KUALA LUMPUR: The Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF) is striving to become a “full spectrum air force” that can boast higher capability, sharper focus and “effect-based operations”. RMAF chief General Tan Sri Affendi Buang said that the goal can be achieved through its Capability Development 2055 (CAP55) initiative, a long-term plan of transformation of the RMAF’s capability from 2021 to 2055. He said although the RMAF is only a medium-sized outfit, it has very high capability in the region. "RMAF’s capabilities will be developed more effectively and efficiently through the restructuring of key assets with existing and future support. "For the future, the RMAF plans to reduce the number of its aircraft to multi-role aircraft capable of performing multiple tasks in one flight.
