The New Zealand Defence Force (NZDF) has awarded a contract to CAE to support its SH-2G (I) Super Seasprite helicopter synthetic training devices.
As part of the contract, CAE will update the NZDF’s existing SH-2G(I) full mission flight simulator (FMFS) and SH-2G(I) part task trainer (PTT), which are being procured as part of an acquisition of ten SH-2G(I) helicopters from Kaman.
CAE Oceania vice-president and general manager Peter Redman said: "We are pleased to extend our relationship with the New Zealand Defence Force, following contracts earlier this year in support of New Zealand’s T-6C pilot training programme and the establishment of CAE New Zealand Pty Ltd.
"The entire CAE team is committed to the on-time delivery of world-class, ground-based training systems and support services, as we strive to become the partner of choice in New Zealand for simulation and training."
