This year the Royal Air Force celebrated 15 years of operation of the Lockheed Martin C-130J total training system, with simulators and other tools supplied by CAE (Chalet 56). The current contract for maintenance and support of the system ends on December 31, and CAE is currently negotiating a five-year extension that will take the system nearer to the C-130J’s planned out-of-service date of 2022. In the meantime, the company continues to improve the system as part of its support contract, under which CAE acts as a subcontractor to Lockheed Martin (Chalet 316) as part of the overarching Hercules Integrated Operational Support program.
