Italy’s Directorate for Air Armaments and Airworthiness has contracted Canadian training system provider CAE to develop a Predator unmanned aircraft system (UAS) mission trainer for the Italian Air Force.

CAE (Chalet 56) and UAS manufacturer General Atomics Aeronautical Systems (Hall 3, B132) are developing the high-fidelity mission trainer specifically for Italian Air Force Predator As and MQ-9 Predator Bs. CAE will conduct flight-test data gathering on actual Predators to develop flight system and sensor payload simulations.
