Boeing and CAE entered into an MoU at the Farnborough International Airshow this week, looking to enhance their partnership and identify areas to undertake joint offerings, including teaming opportunities, innovation, as well as support programs.
Critically, the offering is designed to bolster the mission readiness of defence customers across the globe who use Boeing military aircraft, including through pilot training, aircrew ground school, in-service support, and instructor training.
“Boeing and CAE share an unwavering commitment to deliver value through innovative training solutions that provide increased efficacy and reliability to our defence and commercial services customers,” Stephanie Pope, president and CEO, Boeing Global Services, said.
“This collaboration demonstrates the best of how governments and industry can collaborate to benefit customers worldwide.”
According to a release, the recent announcement builds on a long history of collaboration between the two companies, including CAE’s work on Germany’s CH-47 Chinook program, global P-8 training solutions and membership of Boeing’s Team Poseidon for Canada’s multi-mission aircraft offering.
“Our purpose is to prepare our military customers for safe and successful mission outcomes through advanced training and mission readiness,” Daniel Gelston, president, CAE Defense & Security, said.
“CAE and Boeing are leveraging our global training experience and aircraft expertise to expand solutions that support modernisation and adaptability for the future of these platforms.”
