OAKEY, Queensland -- Boeing [NYSE: BA] subsidiary Boeing Defence Australia (BDA) has installed a Helicrew simulator at the Oakey Army Aviation Training Centre in order to enhance the capabilities of BDA flight instructors.

The Helicrew allows BDA Qualified Flying Instructors to further hone and test their training procedures through a variety of simulated situations. Helicrew is designed to replicate the Bell 206B-1 Kiowa, which the Australian Army uses as an initial training helicopter before pilots transition to operational rotorcraft.

Through the Army Aviation Training and Training Support (AATTS) contract awarded in 2007, Boeing supports the Army's Kiowa, Black Hawk and CH-47 Chinook helicopters with pilot, aircrew and technician training, operational fleet maintenance, and support services.

"Our investment in the Helicrew shows our ongoing commitment to supplying industry-leading, in-country instruction to align with the future of rotary wing training," said Mark Brownsey, AATTS project manager for BDA. "As we mature this synthetic capability, we will work with our customer on opportunities to use the Helicrew to provide some pilot instruction in a more cost-effective, lower-risk environment than flying real Kiowas."

"The Helicrew gives us the flexibility to plan training exercises much more quickly than before," said Charlie Stone, chief pilot at AATTS. "It also allows us to better prepare for emergencies in a safe environment, and to assess our performance at any point of the exercise – all of which will ultimately benefit pilots in training."

TNI AU Akan Segera Miliki Simulator Sukhoi

MAKASSAR-(IDB) : Pesawat tempur terbaik Indonesia kini sedang tampil setiap hari di atas langit Australia. Ya, sebuah Sukhoi Su-27 dan Su-30 teranyar milik Skadron 11 Lanud Hasanuddin Makassar ikut terlibat dalam latihan udara terbesar Australia 2012 bertajuk "Pitch Black".

Kepala Penerangan Koopsau II, Letkol Sus. Andi Arman mengatakan, keiikutsertaan empat Sukhoi milik Lanud Hasanuddin ini karena mendapat kehormatan diundang untuk mengirimkan pesawatnya dalam berbagai manuver di negara tersebut.

Ikut serta dalam rombongan itu sebagai peninjau Panglima Koopsau II Marsekal Muda TNI Agus Supriatna. Direncanakan pesawat sukhoi itu akan kembali hingga 13 Agustus mendatang. “Sebab, Pitch Black ini merupakan even bergengsi di Australia,” terang Andi Arman yang dihubungi malam tadi.

Terpisah, Kadispen AU Marsma Azman Yunus di Jakarta kemarin mengatakan, Pitch Black juga diikuti oleh armada udara Negara sahabat Australia lainnya misalnya, Amertika Serikat, Selandia Baru, Singapura, Thailand dan Prancis.

Pemberangkatan satu pesawat tempur Sukhoi didukung 55 kru dan teknisi. Kru diangkut dengan dua pesawat angkut Hercules C-130 dari Skuadron Udara 31 Halim Perdanakusuma dan satu Hercules C-130 dari Skuadron Udara 32 Lanud Abdulrachman Saleh Malang. Dalam latihan Pitch Black, masing-masing peserta akan dibagi menjadi dua armada. Mereka berlatih offensive counter air combat atau peperangan udara tangkal cepat.

Dua tim akan dibagi menjadi kelompok merah dan kelompok biru. Merah akan menyerang dan biru berusaha melakukan kontra serangan di atas udara dengan kecepatan super . "Sukhoi kita baru pertama ini ikut latihan skala internasional dengan pesawat-pesawat tempur lain," katanya.

Selain mengikuti latihan bersama dengan negara lain, TNI AU kini sedang bersiap menerima enam Sukhoi baru dari Rusia. "Secara bertahap idealnya akan ada 16 pesawat, kita sudah punya 10 di Makassar," kata Azman.

Pilot-pilot Indonesia juga segera memiliki flight simulator Sukhoi yang akan menghemat biaya latihan hingga ratusan juta. "Kita juga diundang angkatan Udara Republik Rakyat China untuk mengirim pilot Sukhoi berlatih di sana," katanya.

Australian Army Upgrades Battle Simulator

26 Juli 2012

Improved graphic realism in VBS2 version 2.0. (photo : ITNews)

The Australian Defence Force has upgraded a seven-year-old core battlefield simulation system used to prepare individuals and teams of up to 100 soldiers for battle.

Army personnel have used the Virtual Battle Space (VBS) simulator since 2005, when VBS1 was used to train soldiers deploying to Iraq.

Defence licensed VBS2 2.0 from system developer Bohemia Interactive for $2.8 million this month to improve terrains, viewing distances, artificial intelligence and other features. The upgrade will be rolled out in the third quarter of 2012.

A Defence spokesman told iTnews that the upgrade would provide "a range of technical improvements, such as longer viewing distances, improved networking support, increased processing power and much larger maps".

"Typically, VBS2 is used by individual soldiers and combat teams of over 100 soldiers," he said, noting that its uses included tactical training and Area of Operation (AO) familiarisation.

"[It] can simulate a wide range of military capabilities including naval and air capabilities ... most of the Australian Defence Force and a range of coalition weapons systems [are] represented."

The upgraded simulator was expected to deliver a wide range of foundation war fighting and mission specific scenarios — such as operations in urban terrain.

"Army has, or is in the process of developing, terrains for all of our key training ranges and other areas that support mission-specific training of our personnel," the spokesman said, noting that the VBS could simulate any land, sea, or air platform to varying levels of fidelity.

Among other new features, VBS2 2.0 will introduce full terrain paging, armored and aviation enhancements, realistic underwater and scuba diving and improvements to parachuting and free-fall simulations.

The upgrade also provides trainees with more realistic AI behavior. New computer-controlled units have a much better understanding of their surrounding terrain, allowing them to move through smaller spaces and use various features of the terrain for cover.

New maps will cover a maximum virtual distance of 300 x 300 kilometres; up from 100 x 100 kilometres in the previous version.

The spokesman said VBS2 2.0 would support scenarios, models and data sets from earlier versions. The existing PC fleet will be used to run the upgraded VBS2 system.

"[VBS2 2.0 is] one of Army's core simulation systems [which is] used for a wide range of training tasks," the spokesman said.

"It complements other virtual simulations, such as helicopter and armoured fighting vehicle virtual simulators that focus on psycho-motor skills."

Defence currently runs the Virtual Battle Space simulator on about 1000 desktop machines and 150 laptops, the majority of which are within the Battle Simulation Centres located in Darwin, Townsville, Brisbane, Adelaide and Puckapunyal.

"Typically PCs [designed to run VBS2] have an Intel i5 or i7 CPU, 4GB RAM, 1GB NVIDIA Video Card and 1 Gab network card," the spokesman said.

"Some of these PCs are also fitted with specialised interface devices that replicate the controllers found on armoured vehicles, helicopters and other military platforms."

Serious games

The Australian Army is said to be one of the first organisations to use the VBS product for collective military tactical training and mission rehearsal.

Defence's spokeperson said it did not consider the VBS as a gaming system. However, a version of the product was available for Defence personnel to use on their home computers along with commercial variants.

Other VBS customers include the British Ministry of Defence, SingaporeArmed Forces and NATO.

In January 2009, the United States Army deployed a new training program based on the VBS2 simulator engine to address training gaps identified in small unit operations in Iraqand Afghanistan.

Bohemia Interactive comprises a number of privately owned software development companies based in the US, Australia and the Czech Republic.

Prior to netting military simulation contracts, the group was chiefly known for producing action-themed video games such as Operation Flashpoint, a military shooter that provided the template for VBS2.

BPPT Ciptakan MSR untuk Polri

JAKARTA-(IDB) : Badan Pengkajian dan Penerapan Teknologi (BPPT) berharap wahana menembak simulasi berjalan (mobile shooting range/MSR) bisa diproduksi massal dan dimiliki oleh kepolisian di seluruh Indonesia.

Hal ini dikemukakan Kepala BPPT Marzan Azis Iskandar pada serah terima pengalihan status barang milik negara berupa MSR kepada Kepala Puslitbang Polri Brigjen Mangisi Situmorang di Jakarta, kemarin.

"Kehadiran wahana simulasi menembak berjalan atau mobile shooting range (MSR) diharapkan bisa diproduksi massal dan dimiliki oleh kepolisian di seluruh Indonesia," kata Marzan.

Dia juga berharap antara BPPT dan Polri terjalin terpelihara dan berkembang program kerja sama guna memenuhi kebutuhan Polri. Kerja sama mengenai MSR merupakan hasil perekayasaan BPPT, PT Pindad, dan Polri. MSR dikembangkan di pusat teknologi industri pertahanan dan keamanan yang dimiliki BPPT. Alat latihan menembak ini sudah digunakan di lingkungan Polri. Sedangkan di bidang pertahanan, BPPT sudah mengembangkan sistem amunisi, panser, dan pesawat udara tanpa awak.

"Ke depan tentunya membutuhkan penyempurnaan. Bagaimana teknik menembak tanpa perlu mengunakan peluru tajam atau peluru asli karena harganya cukup mahal. Bisa juga dengan simulasi yang dapat dianalisis arah tembakannya. Seperti orang main golf, sekarang sudah bisa disimulasikan tanpa perlu pergi ke lapangan," ujar Marzan.

Semnentara itu, Kepala Pusat Penelitian dan Pengembangan Polri Brigjen Mangisi Situmorang mengungkapkan satu mobil prototipe MSR adalah salah satu kerja sama di bidang inovasi dan perekayasaan.

"Kerja sama inovasi dan perekayasaan harus terus ditingkatkan. Kami berharap ada kerjasama dan bantuan-bantuan teknologi lainnya," ujar Situmorang.

MSR yang kini digunakan Polri masih satu alat, digunakan sebagai simulasi latihan menembak dengan jarak minimal 10 meter. Untuk pengembangan prototipe ini menghabiskan dana sebesar Rp 1,2 miliar.

07 April 2012

Negara yang dijajaki untuk pembelian simulator Sukhoi adalah : Rusia, China, dan Kanada (photo : Kaskus Militer)

Kepala Staf TNI Angkatan Udara, Marsekal TNI Imam Sufaat mengatakan selain membeli Sukkoi sebanyak 6 unit dari Rusia, rencananya Indonesia juga membeli simulator jet tempur jenis medium tersebut di tahun ini. Pembelian simulator untuk menghemat pengeluaran operasional Sukhoi dan jaminan keselamatan pilot selama operasional.

"Setidaknya, dana yang harus dikeluarkan untuk 1 jam latihan Sukhoi mencapai Rp 500 juta," kata Sufaat kepada wartawan di Lanud Halim Perdana Kusuma Jakarta, Sabtu (7/4).

Dengan pembelian simulator akan menekan angka pengeluaran operasional Sukhoi. Harga simulator berkisar 35 juta dolar AS.

"Harga simulator adalah setengah harga dari Sukhoi. Harga Sukhoi berkisar 50 hingga 60 juta dolar AS per unit," lanjutnya.

Hingga sekarang TNI AU masih belum menentukan pilihan akan membeli di negara mana. "Kami menjajaki, beli simulator dari Rusia, China, atau dari Kanada. Ada beberapa sumber dan kami akan cari yang terbaik, pertimbangannya adalah bahasa juga," terangnya.

Selain itu, pengadaan simulator Sukhoi juga solusi terbaik dalam mencetak pilot handal daripada mengirimkan pilot Indonesia belajar di luar negeri. "Kelemahannya mereka tahu kemampuan penerbang Indonesia," ucapnya serius.

Saat ini, TNI AU sudah memiliki beberapa simulator pesawat. Dua diantaranya adalah F16 dan Hercules.[has]

TNI AU Berencana Membeli Simulator Sukhoi

JAKARTA-(IDB) : Indonesia berencana melengkapi keberadaan armada Sukhoi dengan membeli simulator pesawat tempur Rusia tersebut. Namun hingga saat ini belum ditentukan dari negara mana simulator tersebut dibeli.

"Kita beli simulator tahun ini untuk meningkatkan kemampuan penerbang dan mengefisienkan pengeluaran," kata Kepala Staf TNI Angkatan Udara Marsekal TNI Imam Sufaat, usai gladi resik HUT TNI AU di Lanud Halim Perdana Kusuma Jakarta, Sabtu (7/4).

Imam menyebutkan TNI AU masih terus menjajaki tiga negara yang menyediakan simulator pesawat jenis menengah tersebut. "Kami menjajaki, beli simulator dari Rusia, China, atau dari Kanada. Ada beberapa sumber dan kami akan cari yang terbaik, pertimbangannya adalah manual bahasanya," paparnya.

Ia menyebutkan, dasar utama pembelian simulator tersebut yaitu untuk merahasiakan kelemahan dan kekuatan setiap penerbang. Menurut Imam, apabila pilot diberi latihan di luar negeri, calon lawan bakal mengetahui dengan mudah skill setiap penerbang.

"Padahal di sini skill penerbanglah yang menentukan ketimbang kemampuan pesawatnya. Dengan adanya simulator, kita bisa mencetak pilot handal tanpa diketahui kemampuannya," ungkap Imam.

Pembelian simulator ini juga untuk menghemat pengeluaran operasional Sukhoi dan jaminan keselamatan pilot selama operasional.
"Setidaknya, dana yang harus dikeluarkan untuk 1 jam latihan Sukhoi mencapai Rp500 juta," ujarnya.

Saat ini, TNI AU sudah memiliki beberapa simulator pesawat seperti F16 dan Hercules.

CAE heli simulator (photo : CAE)

SINGAPORE — Canada’s CAE will set up a military and civilian helicopter training center with Brunei as part of a multipurpose training operation, CAE and the Brunei Economic Development Board (BEDB) announced at the Singapore Airshow on Feb. 15.

The groups signed a memorandum of understanding to build a facility focusing initially on local military and civilian helicopter pilots. The facility, located in Rimba, would be the region’s largest helicopter simulator training facility, a joint statement said.

The $80 million investment program will later expand to cover training in the oil and gas, public security, and crisis management sectors.

Marc Parent, CAE’s chief executive, declined to give details of timing and helicopter types for training and simulation but said talks had been going on for about a year and the project was “on a fast track.”

The training tie-up comes on the back of a decision by Brunei to expand its rotorcraft capabilities with the purchase of 12 S-70i Black Hawks to add to the air force’s fleet of Sikorsky machines. Deliveries on the new Black Hawks get underway next year.

Existing Bell helicopters, which now form part of the fleet, will be phased out.

CAE and BEDB would sign a joint venture partnership to pursue the opportunity, Parent said.

On Feb. 15, 2011, CAE and Brunei announced a deal for the creation of a National Modelling and Simulation Centre. The organization would aid military and other government agencies with tasks including force-structure options analysis and mission rehearsal exercises.

RAAF Super Hornets to Receive New Air Combat Training System

14 Februari 2012

P5 Tactical Combat Training System (photo : Cubic)

SAN DIEGO, California – Cubic Defense Applications, Inc., a defense systems business of Cubic Corporation (NYSE: CUB), has received a new contract valued at more than $11 million. Cubic and its principal subcontractor, DRS Training and Control Systems LLC, a unit of DRS Defense Solutions LLC, will provide the P5 Tactical Combat Training System (P5TCTS) to the Royal Australian Air Force for use in training F/A-18F Super Hornet crews.

“This new system represents a step forward for the RAAF,” said Michael Rodriguez, Senior Program Manager, Air Ranges. “Australia currently operates a fourth generation Cubic air combat training system at RAAF Base Williamtown for training on its F/A-18 Hornet aircraft. The RAAF decided to purchase the fifth generation P5TCTS for use on its newest F/A-18F aircraft operating at RAAF Base Amberley. This new system will allow for interoperability with the F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter aircraft that the RAAF is planning to purchase in the near future. All F-35 Joint Strike Fighters for Australia will be delivered with an on-board, internal P5 airborne subsystem.”

P5TCTS for the Super Hornet will be delivered in late 2012 to RAAF Base Amberley near Brisbane, Queensland. Amberley was previously home to the RAAF’s F-111 aircraft, which were recently retired from service and were replaced with two squadrons of F/A-18F Super Hornets. The RAAF’s new P5TCTS will be very similar to the current U.S. Navy TCTS system and will include airborne instrumentation pods built by principal subcontractor DRS, transportable ground systems with live monitor, and portable ground subsystems, which includes Cubic’s Individual Combat Aircrew Display System (ICADS) software for debriefing. For this effort Cubic , has also been contracted to provide software and hardware to ensure that the legacy Cubic-developed Air Combat Maneuvering Instrumentation (ACMI) system operating at Williamtown will be able to “merge data” to allow for postmission debriefing between the Classic Hornet and Super Hornet aircrews.

Amberley squadrons will also receive live monitoring (LM) capability. The LM enables real-time monitor and uplink control of P5TCTS-podded aircraft via Cubic’s ground stations.

Cubic delivered Australia’s first rangeless, instrumented air combat training system to RAAF Base Williamtown, New South Wales, in 2007. Cubic Defence Australia employees maintain the ACMI pods and ground stations there.

The contracting authority for the Foreign Military Sale is the Air Armament Command/EBYK (Range Instrumentation Systems Branch), Eglin Air Force Base, Florida. Cubic has a number of previous international sales of P5CTS/TCTS. Additional sales are expected in the near future.

Simulator Pesawat Ekspansi Bisnis PT. DI

BANDUNG-(IDB) : PT Dirgantara Indonesia (DI) mulai melakukan ekspansi bisnisnya dengan membuat simulator pesawat. Pengembangan tersebut tidak jauh bisnis utama perusahaan yaitu membuat pesawat dan komponen pesawat. Direktur Aircraft Service PT DI Rudi Wuraskito mengatakan, sudah ada beberapa unit simulator yang berhasil dibuat. Misalnya untuk pesawat jenis CN 235 dan Helikopter Super Puma. Tidak hanya itu, perusahaan yang dahulunya bernama Industri Pesawat Terbang Nasional (IPTN) tersebut juga membuat simulator untuk kapal laut. "Ada 3-4 simulator yang sudah kita buat," ungkap Rudi.

Untuk 1 unit simulator CN 235, lanjut Rudi, dijual seharga USD 12 juta. Sementara simulator Super Puma harga jualnya tidak diketahui. Sebab, PT DI hanya salah satu pemasok komponen. Bukan kontraktor utama. Tapi, untuk 1 unitnya perusahaan yang berpusat di Bandung tersebut mendapatkan USD 3 juta. "Itu sebagian saja. Kita subkontraktor. Kontraktor utama di Kementerian Pertahanan," katanya.

Menurut Rudi, PT DI baru mau fokus menekuni bisnis simulator tersebut. Dulunya, perseroan tidak bisa melakukan ekspansi usaha karena diminta fokus membuat pesawat saja."Awal kita membuat simulator karena ada yang minta. Malaysia yang memiliki 8 pesawat CN 235 meminta dibuatkan simulatornya. Super Puma karena TNI Angkatan Udara butuh. Cuma kita sifatnya membantu. Ada main kontraktor," kata Rudi.

Ditegaskan Rudi, saat ini pihaknya belum bisa langsung bersaing dengan produsen simulator lainnya. Terutama dari sisi branding. Harus dibangun kepercayaan dengan konsumen terlebih dahulu. "Kita lakukan kerja sama dengan yang sudah branded. Sehingga lebih murah harganya," ucap Rudi.

Untuk membuat simulator, tambah Rudi, hal utama yang diperlukan adalah data base pesawat. Data perilaku pesawat pasti dimiliki pabrik. Hanya, untuk mendapatkan data base tersebut tidak mudah. Harganya pun sangat mahal, mencapai 20 persen dari total harga simulator. "Kalau harga simulator USD 10 juta, maka data basenya USD 2 juta. Kalau bikin sendiri pakai teknologi kita bisa saving 30-40 persen. Ada penghematan yang cukup banyak," katanya.

Dikatakan Rudi, dalam 4-5 tahun mendatang diharapkan PT DI sudah mampu bersaing dengan produsen simulator lainnya. Saat ini, perusahaan sedang merintis dari yang keculu. Jika langsung memulai dengan besar banyak yang tidak percaya. "Simulator banyak ke aplikasinya. Sejauh ini kita lihat produk karena pesawat terbangnya apa," ujarnya.

MADIUN-(IDB) : Presiden Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, Sabtu (14/1/2012) ini, rencananya mengunjungi fasilitas latihan terbaru milik TNI AU, yakni Air Combat Maneuvering Instrumentation, di Pangkalan TNI AU Iswahjudi, Madiun, Jawa Timur.

Air Combat Maneuvering Instrumentation (ACMI) adalah seperangkat peralatan elekronik yang terintegrasi dengan pesawat udara. Alat ini berfungsi untuk memonitor pergerakan pesawat secara real time dan merekamnya.

Dengan alat itu, Presiden Yudhoyono rencananya akan bisa memantau secara real time empat pesawat tempur F-16 yang dipasangi ACMI. Simulasi gerakan pesawat tempur yang ditampilkan di layar merupakan hasil dari pengolahan data yang diperoleh lewat alat ACMI yang dipasang di sayap.

Melalui ACMI, seorang penerbang tempur dapat dipantau secara presisi latihan terbang yang dilakukannya, baik secara real time maupun dalam bentuk rekaman untuk keperluan briefing.

New A109 Helicopter Training Simulator for Air Force

24 November 2011

A new flight simulator complex was commissioned at Ohakea today by the Chief of Air Force, Air Vice-Marshal Peter Stockwell.

“The A109 simulator and accompanying Virtual Interactive Procedure Trainer are critical components of the newly introduced integrated training system for future New Zealand Defence Force helicopter aircrew,” said Air Vice-Marshal Stockwell.

As a part of that training system the simulator will provide the Royal New Zealand Air Force with a cost effective means of training A109 aircrew and those destined to fly the NH90 and SH2G helicopters. The simulator provides significant financial savings as the operating cost of the simulator is approximately 10% of the A109 helicopter operating cost.

“The simulator cost EUR9.3M and it has an expected service life of at least 30 years. It will provide approximately 1400 hours of training per year but it has the capacity to provide in excess of twice this, if required. At the planned rate, the simulator will effectively pay for itself in less than five years,” said Air Vice-Marshal Stockwell.

One of the primary functions of the recently introduced A109LUH helicopters was as a training platform for NZDF NH90 and SH2G aircrew. AgustaWestland, suppliers of the A109 helicopters, also provided the Virtual Interactive Procedure Trainer and the Flight Simulator.

“The simulator is an excellent training platform as it allows high risk exercises (such as engine and other equipment failures) to be conducted safely rather than in the helicopter. It also allows flying training in bad weather and poor visibility conditions as we can simulate the external environment to suit our training requirements.”

“Both world class training devices will be housed at Ohakea and used for training NZDF helicopter pilots and crewmen. Approximately 50% of all A109 helicopter training will be conducted in the simulator, making significant training efficiencies and cost savings,” said Air Vice-Marshal Stockwell.

Virtual Interactive Procedures Trainer (VIPT)

This is a PC-based system that replicates the A109LUH cockpit using touch screens and allows training in the use of individual systems (e.g. autopilot) and of integrated systems (e.g. how the autopilot affects navigation and flight displays). The VIPT is capable of simulating all aspects of instrument flight using the aircraft’s automatic flight control system.

This is a full reproduction of the A109LUH cockpit within a cabin containing a semi-spherical screen and a visual system comprising seven projectors. The visual system displays an external view of the synthetic world on to a 220o x 60o screen. The simulator includes a six axis electro-pneumatic motion system, a seat vibration system and a sound system that models aircraft and environmental sounds. The simulator is capable of simulating flight by day and night, and is Night Vision Goggle (NVG) compatible. The control station allows the instructor to set and change weather and sea conditions, change the time of day, reposition the aircraft instantly, insert fixed or moving models (e.g. aircraft, vehicles, ships), and inject a wide range of malfunctions and emergencies.

Dubai, U.A.E., – (NYSE: CAE; TSX: CAE) – CAE today announced at the Dubai Airshow that it will deploy a new CAE 5000 Series full-flight simulator (FFS) in the Melbourne, Australia area in the first half of 2012 for training pilots and maintenance technicians for the Hawker Beechcraft King Air 350i aircraft with Pro Line 21 avionics.

"CAE continues to expand our capabilities globally in order to provide customers with the most advanced training options available in close proximity to where they operate,” said Jeff Roberts, CAE’s Group President, Civil Simulation Products, Training and Services. "The Australia, New Zealand and Southeast Asia region is among the fastest growing in aviation, and we look forward to building on the established CAE presence in Australia to serve this market with business aviation training solutions such as the King Air 350i."

The FFS will incorporate the Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 integrated avionics suite. It will be qualified to Level D, the highest qualification for flight simulators, by the Australian Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA). Training credits are also expected for operators of King Air 200 aircraft. Training will be provided at a location in the Melbourne area to be determined in consultation with customers in the region.

In addition to business aircraft operators, the new King Air 350i FFS is expected to be used for training military pilots in the region.

Expanding CAE’s business aviation training presence into Australia continues the company’s growth in the region. CAE recently launched CAE Global Academy Perth, a joint venture with China Southern Airlines in Jandakot and Merredin, Australia for training ab initio cadets to become airline pilots. CAE Australia Pty Ltd also has multiple contracts with the Commonwealth of Australia in support of the Australian Defence Forces (ADF). These contracts include providing simulation equipment, maintenance support and training services for platforms such as the KC-30A Multi-Role Tanker Transport, C-130H/J transports, MRH90 helicopters, S-70B Seahawk and Sea King naval helicopters, and S-70A Black Hawk utility helicopter.

Melbourne will become one of 10 CAE locations worldwide for business aviation training. Current locations include Dallas, Phoenix, New York, London, Amsterdam, and Dubai. In 2012, CAE will add Mexico City, Sao Paulo and Melbourne. And CAE has announced an upcoming business aviation training centre in Asia in 2013.
