CAE Military Products, Training and Services group president Gene Colabatistto said the company was focused on a diverse pipeline of opportunities in both the established and emerging markets.
"Our broad global reach and longstanding presence in emerging markets make CAE unique and give us confidence we can win globally, by enabling our defence and security customers to increase their use of simulation-based training solutions," Colabatistto said.
Under the first contract, the company will supply its CAE Medallion-6000 image generator for integration into one T-129 helicopter full-mission simulator and one T-129 helicopter partial-mission simulator that are being manufactured by Havelsan for the Turkish Army.
