An MH-47 On Your Desk

CAE's MH-47 and MH-60 Sims Coming Soon, to Spec Ops Desktops

The U.S. Army Program Executive Office - Simulation, Training, and Instrumentation (PEO-STRI) has selected CAE USA to provide desktop trainers (DTTs) and a reconfigurable part-task trainer (PTT) for the MH-47G Chinook and MH-60K Black Hawk helicopters operated by the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment - Airborne. [Operationally similar to the UH-60 unit shown (right).]

The initial delivery order, valued at approximately US$5 million, calls for CAE to design reconfigurable MH-47/MH-60 part-task and desktop trainers. CAE and the U.S. Army are currently in alpha contract negotiations on a delivery order for a MH-47G combat mission simulator (CMS) and a MH-60K CMS. (If CAE is awarded these additional trainers, the total value is expected to be approximately $85 million.)

"We said a year and a half ago when we won our first program with this customer that we were committed to a long and productive relationship with the Army's Special Operations Forces," said John Lenyo, CAE USA's president and general manager. "CAE's innovation and cutting-edge technology will play a critical role in ensuring the soldiers of the 160th receive the highest- fidelity and most realistic mission rehearsal and training possible. We're honored by this selection to continue our role as the mission rehearsal and training partner for the Army's elite Night Stalkers."

CAE is currently building the world's first A/MH-6 Little Bird CMS for the 160th SOAR(A), which will be delivered to Ft. Campbell (KY) in the summer of 2004.
