Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • The award is a more-than-A$300 million (over US$270 million) 10‑year deal to deliver F‑AMTS under Project AIR 5428 Phase 3, locking in long‑term training and sustainment for RAAF aircrews.
  • It reflects the market trend toward large, multi‑year mission‑training contracts for defence customers; see the recent $972M sole‑source US Air Force training and simulation award (context: recent major mission‑training wins) (https://hype.aero/?story=3f3a159b-f1ff-4b6a-a43a-b6c1d09e5239).
  • The deal expands CAE’s global simulation footprint and follows other recent CAE simulator deliveries and orders for airlines and militaries, underscoring CAE’s role as a prime systems integrator for large training programmes (example CAE simulator orders and deliveries) (https://hype.aero/?story=571110e4-8a61-402a-bee7-ed66db461aab).
