collaboration on next-generation T-6 training
LONDON, Sept. 13,
2023 /PRNewswire/ - Today, at the Defence and
Security Equipment International (DSEI) conference, CAE (NYSE: CAE)
(TSX: CAE) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Textron
Aviation Defense LLC that expands efforts to support defence force
preparation, integrate next-generation aircraft and develop
advanced capabilities. The collaboration between CAE and Textron
Aviation Defense addresses the growing need for military-led and
industry-enabled flight training services that employ emerging
technology and innovative instructional approaches to enhance the
next-generation T-6 training ecosystem.
"Effective industry collaboration is critical to advance
training and simulation that will enable agile and efficient
customer-driven solutions," said Marc-Olivier Sabourin, Vice President,
CAE Defense & Security,
International. "CAE is dedicated to the innovation and data
analytics needed to advance digital technology and enable
integration. Together with industry partners, we are able to
leverage the best of our capabilities to deliver critical readiness
for defence forces."
The combined expertise of Textron Aviation Defense and CAE will
confront training challenges currently impacting air forces
worldwide, including pilot shortages, lack of instructor pilots,
and increasing aircraft operation and maintenance costs. The
benefits of emerging technologies and adaptive instructional
approaches target critical issues like cost effectiveness,
increased student throughput, student-centric learning, and
instructor workload.
"Textron Aviation Defense and CAE share a common heritage and
vision to deliver exceptional integrated training systems in
support of military pilot production worldwide," said Brett Pierson, President and CEO of Textron
Aviation Defense. "The powerful combination of the world-class
Beechcraft T-6C Texan II — with its unparalleled track record
delivering basic, intermediate and advanced military flight
training across a global fleet of more than 1,000 aircraft
surpassing five million flight hours — and the deep experience,
leading-edge training expertise and human-learning technology of
CAE elevate the range of bespoke integrated training solutions we
deliver. Together, we'll empower training organizations with highly
effective, efficient and reliable training capabilities that
produce the world's finest military aviators."
CAE and Textron Aviation Defense continue to advance, integrate,
and enable training transformation through the analysis, design,
execution, and evaluation stages to ensure force readiness for
current and future platforms.
