Aeromedical evac simulator for USAF
CAE will provide the US Air Force (USAF) with another Aeromedical Evacuation Training System under a new order announced on 23 November. The order was received from ADS under the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Tailored Logistics Support (TLS) programme.
The system, which will be based at Dobbins Air Reserve Base (ARB), is a high-fidelity fuselage trainer representing both the C-17 transport and KC-135 tanker that can be used and configured for aeromedical evacuation missions. The overall system will include courseware and curriculum, and training support services and instruction.
The fuselage trainer will include a motion system to replicate the vibrations and turbulence often encountered during flight to deliver a more immersive and realistic aeromedical training environment. Medical patient simulators will also be provided by CAE Healthcare.
The comprehensive, integrated training system provides a realistic training environment that can be used to prepare aeromedical evacuation crews for pre-flight and emergency procedures as well as in-flight patient care.
Delivery under the order will take place in early 2017.
CAE is already due to deliver a C-130 Aeromedical Evacuation Training System to the USAF at Dobbins ARB in January 2016.
Ray Duquette, president and general manager, CAE USA, said: ‘We are pleased to once again be working with ADS to provide the air force with another Aeromedical Evacuation Training System. The combination of our experience providing training solutions for air mobility platforms and CAE Healthcare's world-class medical patient simulators demonstrates the unique training systems integration capabilities that CAE can deliver.’
