CAE has been awarded a contract to
develop an MH-60R avionics maintenance trainer and weapons load trainer
(AMT/WLT) for the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) under the United States foreign
military sale (FMS) program.
CAE USA will be the prime contractor
responsible for the design and manufacture of the MH-60R AMT/WLT that will be
delivered in 2015 to HMAS Albatross, located near Nowra in New South Wales.
CAE is also currently under contract
to develop two MH-60R tactical operational flight trainers (TOFTs) for the RAN.
The MH-60R AMT/WLT will provide transition and readiness training for MH-60R
avionics technicians and be used to demonstrate, instruct and provide hands-on
experience on maintaining the MH-60R Romeo helicopter.
In addition, the training device will incorporate the
capability to train students how to load ammunition using imitation missiles
and ordnance.
