May 28 2019 - 8:00AM
(NYSE: CAE; TSX: CAE) – On the eve of CANSEC,
Canada’s global defence and security show, CAE announced it has
been awarded a subcontract from Lockheed Martin Canada to begin
work during the design phase of the Canadian Surface Combatant
(CSC) ship program.
During the design phase over the next several
years, CAE will support combat systems training needs analysis and
training media analysis that will contribute to the overall CSC
training system design. In addition, CAE will provide human
factors engineering and professional services to input to the
design of critical spaces aboard the ship as well as support the
establishment of an integrated data environment.
“We are excited to begin work with Lockheed
Martin Canada on this critical program for the Royal Canadian Navy
as part of Irving Shipbuilding’s Canadian Surface Combatant program
team,” said Joe Armstrong, Vice President, Business Operations,
CAE. “Our experience and expertise supporting the Royal
Canadian Navy with world-class solutions as well as human factors
engineering services will play a key role in the design and
development of capabilities specific to the new Canadian Surface
Combatant.”
Lockheed Martin Canada was awarded the CSC
design contract by CSC prime contractor and shipbuilder, Irving
Shipbuilding. Irving Shipbuilding is overseeing CSC design
development efforts and will build all 15 CSC ships at its Halifax
Shipyard.
In addition to CAE, Lockheed Martin Canada is
supported in its role by BAE Systems, L3 Technologies, MDA, and
Ultra Electronics. The CSC is based on BAE Systems Global Combat
Ship and will include Lockheed Martin’s Canadian-developed CMS 330
combat management system.About CAE
