CAE announced today it has won a United States Air Force contract to design and manufacture a C-130H full-mission simulator for the Egyptian Air Force. The contract was awarded to CAE USA under the United States foreign military sale (FMS) program.
The value of the contract was included in the CAE press release dated June 16, 2010 as a sale to an undisclosed customer.
The C-130H full-mission simulator for the Egyptian Air Force will be delivered to Cairo, Egypt during 2013. The simulator will feature the CAE TrueTM electric motion system as well as CAE's latest generation visual solution, including a 210 degree by 50 degree display system and CAE MedallionTM-6000 image generator.
