CAE USA supports an E-3A flight training device for the USAF at Tinkler AFB, Oklahoma.
CAE USA is exercising the seventh option year under its basic contract for the E-3A Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) flight crew trainer at Tinker AFB in Oklahoma, the DoD announced on 6 December.
Work on a $10.19 million contract modification from the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center is expected to be completed by 31 December 2022.
Shephard Defence Insight notes that CAE designed two E-3A operation flight trainers and one flight training device for the USAF. Under a subcontract from L3 Communications, CAE designed and manufactured the three devices for the E-3 training centre at Tinker AFB.
