Saab has brought its Gripen E cockpit simulator to CANSEC as part of a ramped-up effort to promote the aircraft for Canada’s Future Fighter Capability Project (FFCP) requirement. Following an initial outing to India’s DefExpo show last month, the simulator and its wide-area display (WAD) is making only its second public appearance. Measuring 48x20cm (19x8in), the high-definition touchscreen WAD dominates the Gripen E’s cockpit. It is the primary flight and tactical display, presenting information that can be tailored to meet the exact needs of the pilot throughout all phases of flight, as well as relevant tactical data. The avionics that drive the display imagery automatically fuse data from the aircraft’s sensors, as well as information from offboard sources. Canada announced it would launch a new fighter competition in November 2016, and officially launched FFCP last December with a requirement for 88 aircraft. Wide-area Gripen flight Saab had declined to offer the Gripen for earlier iterations of the requirement, but the FFCP promised a more conducive display goes on show procurement environment.

On 1 May, CAE and KF Aerospace announced the formation of a new joint venture. Known as SkyAlyne Canada Inc, the JV is a 50:50 partnership between the two companies that together provide all of Canada’s military pilot training. The JV Navy approves has been formed not only to further improve the offering to deck trainer the Canadian military, but also to pitch for Canada’s Future Aircrew The Royal Norwegian Navy has Training requirement. confirmed official acceptance of Having been in discussion the latest iteration of the portable for around a year, CAE and DECKsim Virtual Reality Trainer KF Aerospace (formerly Kelowna supplied by UK systems and Flightcraft) forged the JV deal this software supplier SEA, which is a year, and the partnership is already joint venture partner in Canadian active in developing improvements company JSK Naval Support to the current contracts, which the Royal Canadian Air Force’s training in the G 120A before Inc (Booth 806) with Canadian remain assigned to the individual (RCAF’s) Phase I primary course progressing to Phase III multi- defence systems specialist companies. at Southport Airport (formerly engine (King Air C90B) or Kaycom Inc, writes Lynn Newton.

One of the 14 graduates BAE Systems CT-155 Hawks was from Hungary which, along with Singapore, also sends pilots for training at NFTC. NFTC’s contract was recently extended to 2023, with an option for a further year.
