CAE today announced it has won several recent military contracts valued at more than C$100 million, including a contract to perform a major upgrade to the Puma helicopter training program at CAE’s Medium Support Helicopter Aircrew Training Facility (MSHATF) in the United Kingdom as well as a contract to build a new C-130H simulator for an undisclosed customer.

“We are continuing to see excellent opportunities for CAE’s extensive portfolio of products and services as militaries extend their use of modelling and simulation to support analysis, training and operations,” said Martin Gagne, CAE’s Group President, Military Products, Training and Services. 

“We are pleased that the UK MoD has chosen to further invest in MSHATF to provide a significant enhancement to RAF Puma aircrew training. Our long term partnership with the MoD helps us to continue adapting our training services to ensure RAF aircrews experience contemporary training relevant to current operations.”
