CAE GmbH Delivers NH90 Facility to German Navy

CAE GmbH has delivered a fully-equipped NH90 training centre to the German Navy. Members of the NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA), Federal Office of Bundeswehr Equipment, IT and In-Service Support (BAAINBw), Naval Command, Naval Support Command, and local government officials were present to celebrate the start of operations at the state-of-the-art facility supporting naval aviators and crew.
 
The facility includes multiple simulators for crew training for the NH90 NTH Sea Lion naval transport helicopter. It has an Operational Flight Trainer (OFT) for training pilots with the highest qualification level for flight simulators, two Operational Tactics Trainers for the Tactical Coordinator (TACCO), and the rear crew networked with the OFT. It also contains two cockpit procedure trainers for pilots and TACCO for individual procedures’ targeted practice.
 
Besides designing and manufacturing, CAE is also responsible for the facility’s planning and implementation. “This complete training solution demonstrates our commitment to the mission readiness of German Armed Forces, which we have proudly supported for over 60 years,” Martin Seger, Managing Director of CAE GmbH, said. CAE was awarded a contract with the NSPA to supply the simulators in November 2019, and the facility demonstrates CAE’s commitment to supporting the mission readiness of allied defence forces.
 
“We have had to wait a long time for the delivery of the simulator, and it has taken a lot of effort and commitment – now we are happy to have this state-of-the-art training device available,” said Naval Aviation Commanding Officer Captain Broder Nielsen, adding they must continue with the commissioning of the simulator for the Sea Tiger, to be delivered to the naval aviators in 2025.
 
“Today marks the successful outcome of four years of excellent cooperation between the German Navy, the industry (CAE), and NSPA. We have a fully functioning Flight Simulator System, which will undoubtedly be an asset to Germany for the foreseeable future,” said Mr. Daniele Cucchi, Programme Manager of the Aviation Support Programme Office.
 
CAE’s support of the German Navy began in 1979 with the development and delivery of the Mk41 Sea King simulator, which provided training capabilities for naval aviators. Training has expanded to include high-fidelity simulators for training on the Mk88A Sea Lynx onboard helicopter, the P-3C Orion maritime patrol aircraft, and now the NH90 NTH Sea Lion multi-role helicopter.
