MONTREAL, March 10 (UPI) -- Canada-based CAE announced it has been contracted by Singapore and Germany for helicopter training simulation technologies and other services.
CAE officials announced that the value of the two contracts is worth more than $66 million. Under the contract CAE will provide Singapore's Defense Science and Technology Agency with S-70B Seahawk and AS332 Super Puma helicopter simulators to support the Singapore air force.
"We are pleased that Singapore has once again recognized CAE's unmatched helicopter simulation experience and leading edge technology by selecting us for the S-70B and AS332 programs," Marc Parent, CAE simulation products and military training and services group president, said in a statement. "Our innovative roll-on/roll-off cockpit design gives customers with smaller fleets the ability to leverage the many advantages of a full-mission simulator and do so efficiently and cost-effectively."
CAE will provide the German procurement office Bundesamt fur Wehrtechnik and Beschaffung with on-site flight simulation equipment maintenance support and logistics services for the German armed forces. Company officials say the German contract includes support for the Tornado fighter aircraft along with support for the CH-53, UH-1 and EC135 helicopters.
