CAE is a global leader in delivery of training for the civil aviation, defence and healthcare markets. CAE designs and integrates the industry’s most comprehensive simulation-based training solutions, anchored by the knowledge and expertise of their 8,000 employees, and their world-leading simulation technologies. The company is a leading training systems integrator capable of developing, delivering and supporting turnkey training centre operations at more than 160 sites in more than 35 countries (including seven key Australian defence sites). CAE have achieved a CMMI Level 3 rating.
CAE Tactical Mission Trainer
CAE will be demonstrating its Naval Tactical Mission Trainer (TMT) at SimTecT in Melbourne later this month. The Naval TMT from CAE is part of a Naval Warfare Training System the company recently delivered to the Swedish Navy, and will also be part of the recently announced Naval Training Centre that CAE will develop for the United Arab Emirates (UAE) Navy.
CAE’s Naval TMT includes the simulation software and instructor operator station that is used to provide training for sensor operations; command, control, communications and computers (C4), and weapon systems. The simulator can be used to train and rehearse for operations in anti-air warfare (AAW), anti-surface warfare (ASuW), anti-submarine warfare (ASW), mine warfare (MW) and search and rescue (SAR).
CAE has designed its Naval TMT to be flexible, and it can be reconfigured for a variety of vessel types, and used to deliver individual training across a range of ship systems and subsystems, including Combat Management Systems, sensor, and weapons systems. In addition, multiple simulators can be networked and used as part of a whole ship configuration for team and multi-ship training. The company delivered more than 50 Naval TMT consoles to the Swedish Navy.
CAE training for MQ-9 Reaper
Crews from the RAAF have also spent time training with the USAF at Holloman AFB. The training, conducted by CAE, gives them the skill sets needed to fly and manage remotely piloted aircraft (RPA).
The training program lasts approximately four months and comprises academic training, simulator training, and live flying. About a quarter of the training time is spent in the classroom, with the remaining three-quarters divided roughly equally between simulator and live flying training. Pilots and sensor operators train as a crew using flight simulators that are very much like the ground control stations (GCS) used operationally. For live flying training, the crew employs the aircraft from inside the GCS via a line-of-sight data link or a satellite data link for beyond line-of-sight operations.
“A number of companies, including CAE, market and sell the simulator hardware that can be used to train remotely piloted aircraft aircrews,” Peter Redman, vice president and general manager, CAE Asia/Pacific, Defence & Security said. “What CAE brings, though, is intimate knowledge and experience on how to actually train pilots and sensor operators to use the unmanned aircraft to perform various mission sets.”
