The Babcock Leonardo Canadian Aircrew Training solution will ensure the next generation of Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) aircrew candidates receive the world’s best military aircrew training. With over 70 years of global aircrew training experience, our solution leverages decades of delivering training to G7 and NATO allies.
“A key strength of the Babcock Leoardo Canadian Aircrew Training team is that we are able to bring global expertise and know-how of two recognized world leaders in military aircrew training to deliver the FAcT program,” said Simon Hill, FAcT Program Director, Babcock Leonardo Canadian Aircrew Training. “Our experience, combined with innovative, best-in-class solutions at all levels of military aviation allows us to meet every requirement of the RCAF’s FAcT program and training requirements. It equips our team to manage program transition risks, support students and instructors, and enhance student quality of life at every touchpoint.”
The Babcock Leonardo Canadian Aircrew Training solution will focus on delivering fully integrated end-to-end training that is based on live and synthetic training platforms, such as the M-345 advanced jet trainer and its state of the art training system that may exploit the Live Virtual Constructive technology (LVC) allowing students to interact, through the simulator, with pilots in flight within the same training mission. This enables the simulated environment and real aircraft to merge with most of the mission parameters that can also be edited on the fly by the instructor.
