CAE will provide hardware and software development, integration, testing and delivery of F-16 Block 70 training devices for the Republic of China Air Force.

The USAF has awarded CAE a $49,7 million hybrid fixed-price/fixed-price incentive contract for the F-16 Block 70 (F-16V) Training Simulation programme for the Republic of China Air Force (ROCAF).

The deal constitutes a Foreign Military Sale (FMS) to Taiwan.

Under the contract, CAE will provide the hardware and software development, integration, testing and delivery of training devices for the ROCAF.

The US DoD said the works will be performed in Arlington, Texas, and are expected to be completed by the end of 2026.
