Lockheed Martin, CAE Establish Canadian Training Alliance for the F-35 Lightning II

Tarih: Issue 45 - August 2013

On the first day of the 2013 Paris Air Show, a new alliance between Lockheed Martin and CAE  was announced when officials from both companies signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for F-35 Lightning II training system support and services in Canada. CAE is a global leader in modelling, simulation and training for defence and civil aviation.

“Canadian industry has played an integral part in the development and production of the F-35 for more than a decade,” said Steve O’Bryan, vice president of F-35 Program Integration and Business Development. “Canada’s industrial contribution to this program has truly just begun. The new alliance we established today is indicative of the long-term role Canadian industry will hold in the global sustainment of the F-35 fleet for the next 30 years and beyond, and directly supports the evolution of training systems, one of the key industrial capabilities recently promoted by the Government of Canada.”
