Rockwell’s VDS for French PC-21 simulators
Rockwell Collins has received a contract from CAE to provide visual display systems (VDS) for the French Air Force’s Pilatus PC-21 simulators, the company announced on 10 August.
The company will supply two Spectraview VDS as part of work for France's FOMEDEC training programme. Rockwell Collins will support CAE with integrating the systems at the CAE facility, and support the final installation in France.
Rockwell Collins will also be providing training for maintaining and operating the VDS and spares.
Lee Obst, managing director, Rockwell Collins in Canada, said: ‘This collaborative international programme taps into the strengths of each team member and will provide French Air Force pilots with a highly realistic and reliable training environment to prepare them for any mission.’
