• Agreements to collaborate to improve mission readiness across the three countries
• Cooperation strengthens a long-standing connection spanning commercial and defense portfolios worldwide.

CAE [NYSE: CAE; TSX: CAE] and Boeing [NYSE: BA] inked teaming agreements to extend multi-mission platform collaboration in Canada, Germany, and Norway. These agreements use each company’s complimentary skills to provide superior management, technical, and cost-effective training solutions for the P-8A Poseidon program.

“These agreements seek to improve mission readiness for defense clients flying Boeing P-8 aircraft,” stated Torbjorn Sjogren, vice president and general manager, Government Services at Boeing. “By collaborating, Boeing and CAE can provide need-based outcome-based pilot and aircrew training, maintenance ground school, in-service support, and instructor training.”

CAE is part of a Canadian P-8 industrial footprint that includes 81 Canadian partners as a member of Team Poseidon in Boeing’s Canadian Multi-Mission Aircraft (CMMA) offering.

“Mission success is dependent on advanced preparation and rapid response,” said Daniel Gelston, president of CAE Defense & Security. “As a leading provider of flight training and simulation, we harness collaboration to build an agile network of proven training, simulation, and in-service support solutions to ensure vital readiness for military forces throughout the world.”

This collaboration expands on a long-standing connection that spans commercial and defense portfolios around the world. CAE has provided operational flight trainers on the Boeing P-8A platform to the United States Navy, Royal New Zealand Air Force, and United Kingdom Royal Air Force for more than a decade.
