US Navy MH-60R/S
CAE is the prime contractor responsible for the design and manufacture of MH-60S operational flight trainers (OFTs) and weapons tactics trainers (WTTs) for the United States Navy. The MH-60S OFTs and WTTs play a key role in the training and mission readiness of both flight and rear crews who fly the MH-60S "Sierra" helicopter for the Navy.
CAE is also the prime contractor responsible for the design and manufacture of MH-60R tactical operational flight trainers (TOFTs). The MH-60R TOFTs play a key role in the training and mission readiness of flight and sensor operator crews who fly the MH-60R "Romeo" helicopter for the Navy.
CAE began work on the MH-60S training program in June 2004. At that time, CAE won a competitive procurement to design and manufacture MH-60S OFTs and WTTs. Prior to CAE's involvement on the MH-60S training program, the Navy had already procured two MH-60S OFTs (called OFT1 and OFT2 by the Navy). Since June 2004, the Navy has put CAE under contract to design and manufacture seven additional MH-60S OFTs (called OFT3 through OFT9 by the Navy). The MH-60S WTTs were a brand new development beginning in June 2004 and the Navy has contracted CAE to design and manufacture a total of six MH-60S WTTs since that time.
CAE began work on the MH-60R training program in July 2006, at which time CAE won a competitive procurement to design and manufacture MH-60R TOFTs. The MH-60R TOFTs include both an operational flight trainer (OFT) and a weapons tactics trainer (WTT) that can operate independently or jointly. CAE is under contract to design and manufacture three MH-60R TOFTs and one SH-60B TOFT. The SH-60B TOFT is being designed by CAE to be easily converted at a later date to an MH-60R TOFT. Prior to CAE's involvement on the MH-60R training program, the Navy had already procured three MH-60R TOFTs (called TOFT1 through TOFT3 by the Navy).
