CAE to Produce Two Full Mission Simulators for German Eurofighters

CAE GmbH on Thursday won a subcontract from Airbus Defense and Space to support the development of new and upgraded training capabilities for Germany’s Eurofighter program.

Airbus, acting as the prime contractor for the Eurofighter Pilot Synthetic Training System (PSTS) consortium in Germany, awarded the subcontract to CAE GmbH to support the development of two new Eurofighter full-mission simulators and an upgrade of two existing simulators at the main operating base in Laage.

Specifically, CAE will have responsibility for providing the CAE Medallion-6000 visual system and synthetic environment solution for the Eurofighter simulators.

The Eurofighter Pilot Synthetic Training System consortium is the result of a collaboration between the German and Spanish Ministries of Defense. Airbus Defence and Space acts as the prime contractor with CAE and Indra included as industry partners.

CAE GmbH also provides on-site maintenance and in-service support services at Laage, Neuburg, Wittmund, and Noervenich, which are the four Eurofighter main operating bases in Germany.
