CAE Defense & Security USA has been awarded a contract by the United States Navy under a U.S. Foreign Military Sales (FMS) program to provide two training devices and support of training MH-60R Seahawk helicopter pilots and mission crew to the Indian Navy.
The FMS contract, valued at US$57M, enables CAE to develop and deliver two training devices, an MH-60R Tactical Operational Flight Trainer (TOFT) and an Avionics Maintenance and Weapons Load Trainer (AMWLT), configured for the Indian Navy. The devices include hardware, courseware, network components, training, and documentation for the MH-60 platform. Device support will consist of upgrades with unique modifications, including an identification friend or foe (IFF) interrogator, IFF transponder, traffic collision avoidance system, anti-ship missile, and depth charge.
“We are honored to continue to support the U.S. Navy with the MH-60R TOFT and AMWLT devices,” says Merrill Stoddard, Division President, CAE Defense & Security, USA. “CAE’s unmatched experience as a platform independent training and simulation provider enables us to develop and enhance solutions that advance mission readiness.”
The MH-60R TOFT provides a total aircrew mission training system connecting a full-motion operational flight trainer (OFT) for pilot training with a weapons tactics trainer (WTT) to train rear-crew sensor operators and airborne tactics officers. The MH-60R OFT and WTT can be operated as standalone training devices or as a networked training environment to maximize readiness by allowing the pilot, co-pilot, and rear crew to interact and interoperate to conduct full mission training against highly sophisticated interactive threats, as they would during an actual mission.
CAE Defense & Security USA has been the prime contractor for designing and manufacturing the MH-60R TOFTs and MH-60R AMWLTs for the U.S. Navy for nearly two decades. Delivering its first device as Ready for Training in 2011, CAE has since produced devices through the U.S. Navy FMS program supporting Australia, Denmark, Brazil, and South Korea.
