Contracts To Provide Simulation Products, Upgrades, And Training Services For Global Military Customers
Some of the key contracts include providing a C-130J simulator to the United States Air Force; a range of C-130J training systems and upgrades for the Royal Australian Air Force; simulator upgrades and training services for the Royal Air Force; M-346 simulators for the Italian Air Force; in-service support for the British Army's Warrior infantry fighting vehicle training systems; and support services for the NATO Joint Lynx helicopter simulator.
"As a world-class training systems integrator, we offer customers the experience and expertise to help them accomplish their training objectives in the most efficient and effective manner possible," said Gene Colabatistto, CAE's Group President, Defence & Security. "The contracts announced today are examples of customers leveraging the advantages of CAE's full suite of simulation-based training media, ranging from classroom training systems to full-mission simulators."
Under subcontract from Lockheed Martin, CAE will design and manufacture a C-130J weapon systems trainer (WST) for the United States Air Force (USAF) Air Mobility Command. The C-130J WST will be the ninth developed by Lockheed Martin and CAE for the USAF's Air Mobility Command and will be delivered in 2018 to Yokota Air Force Base in Japan.
Regarding their support of the RAAF, Air Commodore Warren McDonald, Commander Air Mobility Group, RAAF said, "We rely on our C-130J Hercules to fly in some of the toughest flying environments on earth, and deliver effective results when they arrive. To provide this service, it's essential for our Air Force to have training systems that are flexible, intuitive, and can recreate a wide range of scenarios accurately. Quality training for our C-130J personnel will produce personnel who can continue to meet the high-standards that have been accomplished by RAAF Hercules since 1958."
The contracts involve providing numerous CAE capabilities which include full simulation devices, part-task trainers, classroom training devices, and training curricula and instructors.
