Bluedrop selected as courseware provider for CC-130J Maintenance Training Systems Project

HALIFAX, Nova Scotia, Nov. 6, 2014 /CNW/ -- Bluedrop Performance Learning Inc. (TSX-V: BPL) ("Bluedrop"), a recognized training and simulation provider in the military market, was recently selected to complete work for CAE on the development of courseware pertaining to Canada's CC-130J Block 7.0 aircraft upgrades.

CAE, a full-service defence company based in Canada, is the prime contractor on Canada's Operational Training Systems Provider (OTSP) program, which includes the design, development and in-service support of training systems for Canada's CC-130J and CH-147F aircraft.  Bluedrop has been partnered with CAE on the OTSP program since 2009 and has been part of the CAE-led pan-Canadian team of companies supporting the OTSP program.

Lockheed Martin selected CAE to develop, modify, manufacture and deliver CC-130J Maintenance Training Systems for the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF). As part of this project, Bluedrop was selected to create approximately 30 runtime hours of new courseware and update approximately 270 runtime hours of courseware, to be used for training RCAF technicians. The courseware is to be delivered via instructor-led training. The new and revised curriculum Bluedrop created will allow RCAF technicians to continue to safely and knowledgeably maintain the CC-130J aircraft.

Bluedrop will undertake this project in close partnership with CAE and Lockheed Martin, and will use the CAE-developed Air Force Integrated Information and Learning Environment (AFIILE).

"This new contract signifies CAE's continued satisfaction and confidence in Bluedrop's delivery capabilities," said Jim Pyra, Vice President of Program Delivery, Bluedrop Training and Simulation. "We are thrilled with the success of our contracts with CAE, and look forward to continuing this trend with industry partners."
