CAE's U.S. division secured a $257.9 million contract from the U.S. Army. The agreement provides pilot training for the Bombardier Global 6500 aircraft. Work will occur in Tampa, Florida. The contract extends through March 2032. The agreement includes firm-fixed-price, cost-no-fee, and time-and-materials components.
The contract supports the Army's High Accuracy Detection and Exploitation System (HADES) program. HADES is a critical intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) platform. This award builds on CAE's prior work. CAE previously developed and deployed a full-flight simulator for the Global 6500. The company maintains a long-standing role as a key training provider for U.S. Army aviation programs.
