15:03 GMT, October 15, 2012 Montreal | CAE today announced that it has won a series of military contracts valued at approximately C$200 million, the majority of which involves long-term, recurring training services. They include a contract from the United States Navy to develop a KC-130J full-mission simulator for the Kuwait Air Force under a foreign military sale program and the United States Air Force exercising the option for the third-year of KC-135 tanker aircrew training services in addition to contract modifications to perform a range of KC-135 simulator upgrades. CAE has also signed long-term training services contracts with an Asian military customer.
“We are pleased to welcome the Kuwait Air Force to the long list of customers who have selected CAE as their provider of C-130 training systems and services,” said Gene Colabatistto, Group President, Military Products, Training and Services, CAE. “The Middle East and Asia are markets that are increasingly offering a solid pipeline of opportunities, and we are seeing some good potential for upgrade business as defence forces look to leverage simulation-based training for more of their training requirements. Global militaries continue to believe in the fundamental value of simulation-based training, and CAE is well-positioned around the world to deliver a range of solutions designed to enhance efficiency and save money while helping to maintain readiness.”
US NAVY/KUWAIT AIR FORCE
CAE has won a United States Navy contract to design and manufacture a KC-130J full-mission simulator for the Kuwait Air Force. The contract was awarded to CAE USA under the United States foreign military sale (FMS) program. Under terms of the contract, CAE USA will design and manufacture a KC-130J full-mission simulator that will be delivered in 2015 to Al Mubarak Air Base near Kuwait International Airport. The simulator will feature the CAE True electric motion system, CAE Medallion-6000 image generator, and common database (CDB) architecture, which enables real-time mission training and rehearsal capabilities. The KC-130J full-mission simulator will be certified by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) to Level D, the highest qualification for flight simulators.
“This KC-130J full-mission simulator will support initial, recurrent and mission training in-country for Kuwaiti KC-130J aircrews, and importantly, enable the Kuwait Air Force to focus their fleet of KC-130J aircraft on operational requirements,” said John Lenyo, President and General Manager, CAE USA. “Because of the enhanced fidelity and capability of simulation-based training, militaries are increasing the amount of synthetic training as part of the overall training curriculum and Kuwait’s KC-130J training program is a perfect example.”

Based on a working relationship spanning many years and an exceptionally positive one, the Empl company benefits from a major contract with the Kuwait National Guard, together with RMMV.
The Kuwait National Guard is the fourth of armed forces unit after the army, the air force and the navy. The business relationship with the National Guard extends as far back as the 1990s, when a major contract that included hook devices with special flat racks, troop carriers and platforms with cranes was completed. Over the years, further vehicles have been supplied to this special unit.
Empl has once again been successful in winning the tendering process for a further major contract. Following extensive testing, the acceptance procedure for the vehicles has been successfully concluded, with the first batch having already been shipped and delivered to the customer.
VARIOUS SUPPORT VEHICLES The order covers eight vehicles. Diesel tanker superstructures with a capacity of 6,500 L. The vehicles are also equipped with a fitted winch including a rope tensioner, with forward and backward pull and a rope length of 60 m. In addition, ten 6,500 L water tank superstructures and winches were delivered to the customer.
The largest delivery, however, consisted of 65 crew transport platforms. The platform vehicles with drop-down sides and tarpaulin frames are suitable for transporting troops as well as goods. The auxiliary frame is of low-torsion design and is mounted on the chassis. A hydraulic self-recovery winch with forward and backward traction (10 t) is attached to the end of the frame. All vehicles are based on the MAN HX60 4x4 chassis. http://www.empl.at/752.html?L=1

ASPIDE 2000 BY MBDA WINS FURTHER ACCLAIM IN KUWAIT 11/01/2013
Another Aspide 2000 success in Kuwaitreaffirms the missile’s status as a major aircraft buster.
Fired from a Skyguard air defence system, the Aspide 2000 missiles brought down two Banshee remotely piloted targets at the Kuwait Air Defence Brigade's ADEIRA range during a live firing air defence exercise carried out on 18th and 19th December 2012. Both targets were destroyed, in one case by a direct hit and in the other by a close-range explosion. Intercept took place at a range of around 6 km and at an altitude of around 1,500 metres. These successful intercepts add to the already solid evidence of the reliability of this MBDA missile.
During the exercise, Aspide 2000 achieved a launch record for Kuwait - all 19 launches since 2007 having been successful despite varying weather conditions, with launches taking place both at night and day, at both medium and long ranges and at both high and low altitude.
The success of this latest Kuwait exercise is further confirmation of Aspide's effectiveness – 5,000 missiles have been produced to date - and of the robustness of the modernised system’s design. This is yet another boost to the export potential of a missile that international markets are increasingly considering as one of the best performing in the medium-range ground-to-air missile sector.
