Canada-based training provider CAE reported this week at Farnborough that it has won new defense contracts valued at more than $77 million to provide a range of simulation products and training support services for global military customers.

“Our expertise as a training systems integrator and experience on enduring military aircraft platforms is providing us numerous opportunities round the world as defense forces look to expand their use of simulation for integrated mission training,” said Gene Colabatistto, CAE’s group president, defense and security.

Key deals include new contracts, as well as extensions to current agreements. Among them, Lockheed Martin has signed the company to provide synthetic training equipment for the rotary-wing element of the U.K.’s Military Flying Training System (UKMFTS), which CAE already supports.

CAE will also provide seven flight training devices (FTDs) and one command and tactics trainer for the Airbus Helicopters H135/H145 family, having recently been selected as the rotor-wing training platform for the program. The FTDs, scheduled for delivery in 2018, will be equivalent to Level 4/5 flight simulation training devices, and will be networkable for teaching multi-ship tactical formations. All the devices will incorporate the CAE Medallion-6000 image generator and databases built to the Common Database standard, which enables distributed, interoperable mission training.

Lockheed Martin also awarded a five-year extension to CAE’s contract to provide in-service support for the Royal Canadian Air Force’s (RCAF’s) CC-130J aircraft maintenance technician training program. Support services include device upgrades, hardware and software engineering, and obsolescence management.

Meanwhile, L-3 MAS has extended CAE’s in-service support for the RCAF’s CF-18 fleet, to continue handling avionics software upgrades, integrated logistics support and data-management services.

Earlier this year, CAE, in partnership with Draken International, submitted a bid for the Contracted Airborne Training Services program to the Government of Canada, to include electronic warfare and target towing operations. Award of the 10-year contract is expected by year end. Here at the show, CAE and Draken signed an agreement to pursue additional opportunities in providing partnered adversary and threat training services.
