CAE Awarded Contract to Provide Training Services for Royal Australian Air Force Hawk Mk127

CAE has been awarded a contract from Australia's Capability Acquisition and Sustainment Group to provide comprehensive support and training services for the Royal Australian Air Force's Hawk Mk127 training system.

Under terms of the contract, CAE will provide classroom and simulator instructors at RAAF Base Williamtown, in addition to providing maintenance and support services on the three CAE-built Hawk Mk127 full mission simulators currently being installed at both RAAF Base Williamtown and RAAF Base Pearce.

Under a separate subcontract to BAE Systems, CAE is delivering three new Hawk Mk127 full mission simulators to support the RAAF under the Project AIR5438 Lead-in Fighter Capability Assurance Program. The first two CAE-built Hawk Mk127 full mission simulators are currently installed at RAAF Base Williamtown and RAAF Base Pearce respectively, and are undergoing final on-site testing and integration before they are expected to be declared ready-for-training in the May timeframe. The third Hawk Mk127 full mission simulator will be delivered to RAAF Base Williamtown in mid-2017.
