It was delivered to the PAF as part of a contract signed between Airbus Defence and Space and the Ministry of Defence of Poland in 2014.

CAE Europe/Africa Defence and Security vice-president and general manager Marc-Olivier Sabourin said: “This C295 simulator joins a CAE-built SW-4 helicopter simulator that recently entered service with both representing the commitment the Polish Air Force is placing on simulation-based training as a safe and cost-effective means of preparing aircrews for operational flying missions.”

CAE has also provided database management, debriefing, and tactical scenario development stations, and will provide on-site maintenance and support services on the C295 FFS over the next two years.

“This common software and standardisation is claimed to improve synthetic environment database re-use and interoperability across the Polish Armed Forces.”

The CAE 7000 Series C295 FFS features the CAE True six degree-of-freedom (DOF) electric motion system, high-fidelity CAE Medallion-6000 visual system, and advanced computer-generated forces tactical environment.
