CAE has announced it has been awarded a five‑year Training Systems Technical Support (TSTS) contract with the Commonwealth of Australia to deliver the technical sustainment of critical Naval Warfare Training systems, as well as provide engineering expertise to support training requirements and systems.
“CAE is a trusted partner delivering critical training support for the Australian warfighter, and this contract reinforces our long‑standing role in sustaining and evolving essential Royal Australian Navy training capabilities,” Defense & Security Canada and International, Vice President and General Manager, France Hébert, stated.
“It further highlights CAE’s deep expertise in providing integrated, technical, and operational training solutions for the Australian Defence Force and its allied partners.”
The agreement ensures current training systems for Royal Australian Navy (RAN) surface vessels – including bridge simulators and combat centres - are available and integrated across numerous simulators to support multi-domain training operations. It comes into effect from 1 July 2026 with options for further extension.
The contract leverages existing capabilities and creates new, specialised roles within a multi-disciplinary team of technical, IT, cyber, and software experts.
From locations in Sydney and Perth, CAE will deliver technical support, cybersecurity, and engineering design services to support future naval training. By leveraging these capabilities, CAE will provide a comprehensive solution for both initial and collective training, ensuring crews can train for complex and critical naval scenarios in a safe and secure environment.
