Project TANKER is an application that monitors all fuel within the aircraft, including latent fuel, to aid enhanced fuel efficiency and planning in support of air-to-air refuelling requirements.

Created with the support of Astra APPIVATE, the RAF's bespoke software and mobile application development team, the application automates the Minimum Give and Burn calculation, which is generally used by aircrew.
The use of an application reduces the potential for human error, increases flight safety, enhances situational awareness, and reduces fuel wastage by providing accurate data for fuel tracking. This in turn can aid sustainability and support the RAF in its target of Net Zero 2040.
The trial is in progress at RAF Brize Norton.
