Air Force to receive new Aeromedical Evacuation Training System from CAE

CAE will provide a trainer for the U.S. Air Force, as part of an order from AD, Inc., which is working with the Air Force via the Defense Logistics Agency Tailored Logistics Support program.

The new Aeromedical Evacuation Training System will be used at Dobbins Air Reserve Base in Marietta, Georgia.

"We are pleased to once again be working with ADS to provide the Air Force with another Aeromedical Evacuation Training System," CAE USA President and General Manager Ray Duquette said. "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."

The fuselage trainer will be used to train troops on the KC-135 tanker and the C-17 transport vehicle, which can be used for aeromedical evacuation missions. This is the second of its type made by CAE, and it will be sent in early 2017.

"This is an exciting collaborative effort with a long-term partner, and an example of the level of turnkey solutions that CAE can provide," CAE Healthcare President Robert Amyot said. "We will deliver not only patient simulators, specialized curriculum and instructional support, but also a highly realistic training environment."
