CAE Defense & Security has been awarded a contract from Leidos on the U.S. Department of Defense’s Sentinel task order for a dedicated full flight simulator (FFS) in the Bombardier Global 6000/6500 configuration at the Dothan Training Center to support the high accuracy detection and exploitation system (HADES).
Under the terms of the contract, CAE will build and deliver a 7000XR FFS to support the U.S. Army G-2 Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) Task Force and the Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM) requirements of providing timely, relevant, and accurate intelligence to tactical, operational and strategic commanders.
The Bombardier Global 6000/6500 aircraft was selected as the new manned aerial intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance platform to meet current and emerging requirements.
