BAE Systems announced teaming agreements with DEW Engineering and Thales Canada during the CANSEC exhibition in Ottawa in June. Today, BAE Systems announces it has signed a teaming agreement with Bluedrop Performance Learning. Bluedrop will provide training support to the DND for the BAE Systems TAPV vehicle fleet. The training element of the teaming agreement will include all operator training for the vehicle system and remote weapon system, including all related maintenance training for the first line support organizations in the Canadian Forces. “Bluedrop is proud to support the BAE Systems TAPV team in offering the Canadian Forces a new standard of survivability, mobility and fighting capability,” said Allen Dillon, EVP Defence and Aerospace at Bluedrop. “Our aim is focused directly on providing the very best training available to the men and women in uniform, ultimately contributing to their success and safety as they perform their mission.” Bluedrop would lead and coordinate the training program for TAPV at several operating and support bases in Canada, ensuring the Canadian Forces have the necessary skill to deliver and support the BAE Systems TAPV fleet throughout its lifecycle. The effort includes the design and development of the training framework, materials, aids and simulation devices that will ensure the readiness of Canadian Forces to operate and support a new standard in Combat Vehicles. “We are confident we
have the best solution and the best strategic partnerships to deliver
on all aspects of the TAPV program,” said Chris Chambers GM and
VP BAE Systems Tactical Wheeled Vehicles. "We are dedicated to
continued investment in Canadian industry through all the BAE Systems
programs”, added Chambers. |
