CAE Defense and Security USA has been awarded a contract by the United States Navy under a US Foreign Military Sales (FMS) program to provide two training devices and support the training of MH-60R Seahawk helicopter pilots and mission crew for the Indian Navy.

The FMS contract valued at US$57 million will see CAE to develop and deliver two training devices configured for the Indian Navy's requirements; an MH-60R Tactical Operational Flight Trainer (TOFT) and an Avionics Maintenance and Weapons Load Trainer (AMWLT).

“We are honored to continue to support the US Navy with the MH-60R TOFT and AMWLT devices,” said Division President, CAE Defense and Security USA, Merrill Stoddard. 

“CAE’s unmatched experience as a platform independent training and simulation provider enables us to develop and enhance solutions that advance mission readiness.”

CAE Defense & Security USA has been the prime contractor for designing and manufacturing the MH-60R TOFTs and MH-60R AMWLTs for the US Navy for nearly two decades. It has also produced devices in support FMS programs for Australia, Denmark, Brazil, and South Korea.
