CAE Equipping RAAF Hawk Mk127 Training Needs

摘要

World-leading training system integrator, CAE is adding another success in putting its footprint in the Asia-Pacific market. The company announced on March 1 that it has been awarded a contract from Australia's Capability Acquisition and Sustainment Group to provide comprehensive support and training services for the Royal Australian Air Force's (RAAF) Hawk Mk127 training system. The contract is valued at approximately $10.9 million over a four and half year period. Under terms of the contract, CAE will provide classroom and simulator instructors RAAF Base Williamtown, in addition to providing maintenance and support services on the three CAE-built Hawk Mk127 full-mission simulators currently being installed at both RAAF Base Williamtown and RAAF Base Pearce. The in-service support contract was awarded under a contract change proposal to the existing Australian Defence Force Simulator Through Life Support In-Service Support contract with CAE. There will be a phase-in period for CAE while the full mission simulators become operational during the first half of 2017.
