IN ASSOCIATION WITH MILITARY SIMULATOR CENSUS 2015 innovation Innovation has been a driving force throughout CAE’s almost 70-year history and has led CAE to be the technology leader in simulation. We continue to be unique in the industry as the only truly global company focused exclusively on training and simulation. Defence forces around the world want to extend their use live-virtual-constructive (LVC) training to support mission readiness prior to operational deployments. This requires training systems to be networked and interoperable to support integrated mission training across platforms, services and coalition partners. And once again, CAE is leading the way with innovative solutions across the air, land, sea and public safety domains. Our focus and technology leadership has led to the development of market-leading capabilities, such as the common database (CDB) and synthetic environments that facilitate interoperability, networking and correlation. No company has more experience as a training systems integrator, enabling our customers to expand the use of their existing training systems. For example, CAE recently supported the Royal Australian Air Force’s participation in Coalition Virtual Flag, one of the world’s largest live and virtual air combat exercises. Trust a company with the focus, experience and expertise to be your partner of choice for networked, interoperable LVC training. AM309 AM097 CAE is a world-class training systems integrator that offers training centres, services, and products designed to prepare defence and security forces for mission success.
