La Royal New Zealand Air Force (RNZAF) signe un contrat pour un dispositif d’entraînement au vol NH90 de Série CAE 700MR

CAE a annoncé aujourd'hui qu'elle avait remporté un contrat de la New Zealand Defence Force (NZDF) visant à fournir à la Royal New Zealand Air Force (RNZAF) un dispositif d'entraînement au vol sur hélicoptère NH90 de Série CAE 700MR.

Le contrat inclut également la fourniture de services de maintenance et de soutien à long terme dès la livraison du simulateur à la base Ohakea de la RNZAF en 2020. La valeur du contrat pour le dispositif d'entraînement au vol NH90 de Série CAE 700MR, y compris les services de soutien pendant la durée de vie utile et les options, est évaluée à plus de 50 millions $CA.

CAE a récemment lancé le nouveau dispositif d'entraînement au vol de Série CAE 700MR (Mission Reality) au Salon aéronautique de Farnborough. Le CAE 700MR a été spécialement conçu pour l'entraînement au vol et aux missions des hélicoptères militaires.

« L'utilisation accrue de simulateurs en Nouvelle-Zélande est la meilleure manière de former et de maintenir le nombre de pilotes dans la flotte », a déclaré Ron Mark, ministre néo-zélandais de la Défense. « L'accès à la formation sur simulateur au pays permettra de réduire le recours aux NH90 pour les vols de formation, en rendant les hélicoptères disponibles pour un plus grand nombre de t'ches opérationnelles ».

Le dispositif d'entraînement au vol de Série CAE 700MR offre un environnement d'entraînement immersif et réaliste dans une plateforme à base fixe avec siège dynamique pour les vibrations et le mouvement. Le simulateur d'hélicoptère NH90 de la RNZAF sera équipé du générateur d'images CAE Medallion-6000XR et d'un écran visuel assurant un champ de vision extrême (240 degrés à l'horizontale sur 88 degrés à la verticale), idéal pour pratiquer et répéter les manœuvres à risque élevé, tels que l'appontage et l'atterrissage dans des zones confinées.

« Nous sommes heureux que la New Zealand Defence Force ait une fois de plus fait confiance à CAE pour fournir un système d'entraînement haute fidélité et des services complets de soutien à la formation qui contribueront à la préparation aux missions des équipages d'hélicoptères NH90 de la Royal New Zealand Air Force », a déclaré Ian Bell, vice-président et directeur général de CAE, Asie-Pacifique/Moyen-Orient.

CAE fournit actuellement à la NZDF des services de soutien à l'entraînement sur diverses plateformes, notamment les systèmes d'entraînement au sol T-6C à la base Ohakea de la RNZAF et les systèmes d'entraînement sur hélicoptère SH-2G(I) à la base Auckland de la RNZAF.

  • Installing Canadian software on Australian F-18s first order of business when aircraft arrive, says defence official

    Installing Canadian software on Australian F-18s first order of business when aircraft arrive, says defence official

    DAVID PUGLIESE, OTTAWA CITIZEN One of the first things that will be done to the used Australian F-18s that Canada is purchasing is that the aircraft will be outfitted with different ejection seats and software. The first two F-18s that Canada is buying from Australia will arrive sometime in the spring and will be sent to Cold Lake, Alta, said Pat Finn, assistant deputy minister for materiel at the Department of National Defence. “They land, they (the Australians) will remove their software and we'll install our software,” Finn explained in an interview. Also to be installed are ejection seats and a lighting system that is used on the CF-18s. “Ultimately the intent is the 18 aircraft are indistinguishable from our 76 aircraft,” Finn said. Canada has finalized its deal to buy the 25 used fighter jets from Australia, Eighteen of the Australian F-18 aircraft will eventually be flying while another seven will be used for testing and spare parts. The Department of National Defence still has to figure out how to get the aircraft over from Australia. “We would rather fly them over,” Finn said. “Or have them (the Australians) fly them over.” The Liberal government had originally planned to buy 18 new Super Hornet fighter jets from U.S. aerospace giant Boeing to augment the Royal Canadian Air Force's CF-18s until new aircraft can be purchased in the coming years. But in 2017 Boeing complained to the U.S. Commerce Department that Canadian subsidies for Quebec-based Bombardier allowed it to sell its C-series civilian passenger aircraft in the U.S. at cut-rate prices. As a result, the Trump administration brought in a tariff of almost 300 per cent against the Bombardier aircraft sold in the U.S. In retaliation, Canada cancelled the deal to buy the 18 Super Hornets. That project would have cost more than US$5 billion. Instead of buying the new Super Hornets, the Liberals decided to acquire the used Australian jets. Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan says the extra jets are needed to deal with a “capability gap” as Canada does not have enough fighters to handle its commitments to NATO as well as protecting North America. But Conservative MPs say the capability gap didn't exist and was concocted by the government to delay a larger project to buy new jets, a competition that might end up selecting the F-35 stealth fighter the Liberals vowed never to purchase. In November 2018 Auditor General Michael Ferguson issued a report noting that the purchase of the extra aircraft would not fix the fundamental weaknesses with the CF-18 fleet which is the aircraft's declining combat capability and a shortage of pilots and maintenance personnel. “The Australian F/A-18s will need modifications and upgrades to allow them to fly until 2032,” the report noted. “These modifications will bring the F/A-18s to the same level as the CF-18s but will not improve the CF-18's combat capability.” https://ottawacitizen.com/news/national/defence-watch/installing-canadian-software-on-australian-f-18s-first-order-of-business-when-aircraft-arrive-says-defence-official
