The Canadian Government has awarded a contract to CAE to provide a comprehensive aircrew training solution for their CH147F Chinook helicopters.

Under the C$250m ($245.8m) contract, CAE will provide the CH147F training systems and services in two phases.

During the acquisition phase, the company will design and develop a CH147F training suite, which will include a weapon system trainer, a tactical flight-training device (TFTD), deployable TFTD, an integrated gunnery trainer, PC-based CAE Simfinity virtual simulators and courseware.

Additional technologies and capabilities in the first phase will include a training management information system, tactical control centre, and common databases across both the C-130J and CH147F aircrew training programmes.

Upon the delivery of CH147F training suite in early 2014, the second phase of the contract will begin with the provision of in-service support for the CH147F aircrew training programme.

The 20-year in-service support phase will include training device upgrades and maintenance, hardware and software engineering, courseware updates, technology insertion and obsolescence management, and database modelling and generation.
