CAE a annoncé aujourd'hui que CAE USA a remporté un contrat auprès du Chef de la formation aéronavale (CNATRA) pour des services d'instructions contractuels (CIS) visant à soutenir le programme de formation au sol de la Marine américaine.
En vertu des dispositions de ce contrat CNATRA CIS de cinq ans, qui a été attribué en tant que contrat de base avec quatre options d'un an, CAE USA fournira des instructeurs pour des formations en classe et sur simulateur à cinq bases aéronavales (NAS) afin de soutenir la formation de base, intermédiaire et avancée des futurs pilotes de la Marine américaine.
« Nous sommes ravis d'avoir été choisis pour participer à ce programme hautement concurrentiel visant à soutenir la formation des pilotes d'avion de la Marine américaine », a déclaré Ray Duquette, président et directeur général de CAE USA. « Au cours des dernières années, nous avons pu démontrer nos capacités quant au programme T-44C de la Marine, en tant que fournisseur de calibre mondial en solutions et en services de formation les plus complets. CAE USA se réjouit d'intensifier son soutien à la formation au pilotage de base et avancée afin d'assurer la réussite des futurs pilotes navals de la Marine américaine.
CAE USA fournira des instructeurs en classe et sur simulateur aux cinq bases d'entraînement suivantes de la Marine américaine :
Le programme CNATRA CIS procure des services de soutien aux instructeurs en classe et sur simulateur, pour la formation aéronautique navale de base, qui doit être suivie par tous les futurs pilotes de la Marine. Le programme CNATRA CIS assure également le soutien à la formation intermédiaire et avancée en entraînement d'attaque, qui est la voie à suivre pour les futurs pilotes de chasseurs ou pilotes « Tailhook »; le programme soutient en outre l'entraînement NFO, soit la formation de base pour maîtriser les systèmes de pilotage avancés à bord d'aéronefs navals. CAE USA soutient déjà le programme de formation intermédiaire et avancée relative aux appareils multimoteurs dans le cadre du programme de formation détenu et exploité par l'entreprise T-44C « Command Aircraft Crew » à la base d'entraînement de Corpus Christi. La formation des pilotes navals des aéronefs à voilure tournante est appuyée dans le cadre d'un programme de soutien distinct.
« Le programme de formation CNATRA CIS est un autre exemple d'impartition à laquelle l'armée américaine a recours pour confier à l'industrie une partie des services et du soutien nécessaires à la formation de son équipage » a déclaré M. Duquette, pilote naval à la retraite et ancien instructeur à la base de Kingsville. « Comme notre entreprise demeure centrée sur la formation, elle est bien placée pour développer un partenariat fructueux avec nos clients militaires en vue d'aider à la formation et la réussite des pilotes de demain ».

MARINETTE, Wis., Oct. 9, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) and Fincantieri Marinette Marine marked the beginning of construction on Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) 27, the future USS Nantucket, with a ceremony in Marinette. As part of a ship-building tradition dating back centuries, a shipyard worker welded the initials of Polly Spencer, USS Nantucket ship sponsor and wife of U.S. Secretary of the Navy Richard Spencer, into the ship's keel plate. This plate will be affixed to the ship and travel with Nantucket throughout its commissioned life. "The USS Nantucket will confront many complex challenges," said Richard V. Spencer, the U.S. Secretary of the Navy. "It will confront humanitarian relief all the way to great power competition, drawing on the strength of every weld, every rivet applied by the great people here." Unique among combat ships, the focused-mission LCS is designed to support mine countermeasures, anti-submarine and surface warfare missions today and is easily adapted to serve future and evolving missions tomorrow. The Freedom-variant LCS is: Flexible — Forty percent of the hull is easily reconfigurable, able to integrate Longbow Hellfire Missiles, 30 mm guns, and manned and unmanned vehicles designed to meet today's and tomorrow's missions. Lethal — LCS is standard equipped with Rolling Airframe Missiles (RAM) and a Mark 110 gun, capable of firing 220 rounds per minute. Fast — LCS is capable of speeds in excess of 40 knots. Automated — LCS has the most efficient staffing of any combat ship. "LCS' built-in flexibility makes it unlike any other Navy ship in the water today," said Joe DePietro, vice president and general manager of Small Combatants and Ship Systems. "LCS can serve a multitude of missions to include surface, anti-submarine and mine countermeasure missions by quickly integrating mission equipment and deploying manned and unmanned aerial, surface or sub-surface vehicles." LCS 27 is the first Navy ship to be named after Nantucket, Massachusetts in more than 150 years. Nantucket has a deep connection to sailing and maritime traditions, serving as a whaling hub in the 1800s and as the home of generations of American sailors since the town's beginning. The previous USS Nantucket, the first to be named after the island, was commissioned in 1862 to serve during the American Civil War. "I have been given a very special honor in being the sponsor of the future USS Nantucket. I am happy she is being built here in Marinette, Wisconsin, which has an impressive history of shipbuilding," said Polly Spencer, LCS 27 sponsor. "Thank you to all the talented people who are bringing this ship to life... it is going to be an amazing journey that I am thrilled to be on." LCS 27 will be the 14th Freedom-variant LCS and will join a class of more than 30 ships. It is one of six ships in various stages of construction and test at the Fincantieri Marinette Marine shipyard. "We are very excited to begin construction of the future USS Nantucket," said Jan Allman, CEO of Fincantieri Marinette Marine. "Our men and women are proud to put their efforts into giving the Navy versatile ships to keep our country and its interests safe."
