The company said the contract enhances the visual system supporting naval aviation training. It also reinforces CAE’s longstanding partnership with Germany’s defence forces and its commitment to high-fidelity, mission-relevant training solutions.
CAE Prodigy is designed to improve synthetic environment generation through visual realism and responsiveness. The company said it supports seamless transitions between live and synthetic training, allowing aircrews to move naturally between real-world and training environments.
The update will be applied to two full-mission simulators. CAE said the work introduces major advances in visual immersion for complex rear-crew mission environments.
The system extends immersion beyond the cockpit through synchronised, high-resolution exterior and Mixed Reality environments tailored to rear-crew roles. CAE said these visuals support demanding multi-role NH90 missions, including hoisting, door gunnery and cargo operations.
“By integrating CAE Prodigy into the NH90 NTH Sea Lion full-mission simulator training environment, we bridged the gap between simulated and real-world training, which supports more effective mission rehearsal, sharper decision-making, and improved operational readiness for today’s demanding missions,” said Pascal Grenier, President, CAE Defense & Security. “We are honoured to support the Bundeswehr through our close cooperation in delivering advanced mission and operational support.”
The contract follows other CAE Prodigy deployments for European defence forces delivered late last year. These included the CH-53GS helicopter simulator for Germany and Eurofighter training devices for Austria.
CAE said the use of Prodigy across these programmes demonstrates its ability to deliver realistic and scalable training across high-performance military environments. The company said the system can support different operational requirements and training platforms.
CAE provides training and simulation solutions across air, land, maritime, cyber and space domains. The company said its platform-agnostic technologies support defence forces worldwide by improving safety, operational effectiveness and mission readiness in complex operational environments.
