The focus will be on the Upgraded Light Armoured Vehicle III and the Leopard 2 fleets. The crew training system will be networked to provide individual and higher levels of training. Preliminary estimate: $250 million to $499 million anticiPated timeline: 2016 Definition Approval, 2019 Implementation Approval, 2017 Request for Proposal Release, 2019 Contract Award, 2024 Final Delivery Objective: Provide the virtual simulation baseline for training dismounted soldiers up to section level to include all in-service small arms, dismounted crew served weapons and be ready to integrate Forward Observation Officer and Forward Air Controller and mortar detach- ments. Preliminary estimate: $100 million to $249 million anticiPated timeline: 2019 Options Analysis, 2021 Definition Approval, 2023 Imple- mentation Approval, 2022 Request for Proposal Release, 2023 Con- tract Award, 2026 to 2036 Final Delivery. Objective: To find a relevant, flexible, effective and affordable means of imple- menting and optimizing fighter conversion training for new winged graduates to meet Canadian Armed Forces fighter pilot training objec- tives. Preliminary estimate: More than $1.5 billion anticiPated timeline: 2017 Options Analysis, 2020 Definition Approval, 2019 Imple- mentation Approval, 2019 Request for Proposal Release, 2019 Contract Award, 2026 to 2036 Final Delivery Objective: Develop and implement a relevant, cost-effective, flexible, and efficient aircrew training program to meet future aerospace requirements of the CAF. Project must exploit techni- cal advances to maintain relevant and cost effective training, and maximize simulation and emula- tion to create efficiencies. Preliminary estimate: More than $1.5 billion anticiPated timeline: 2017 Definition Approval, 2021 Implementation Approval, 2019 to 2020 Request for Proposal Release, 2021 Contract Award, 2026 to 2036 Final Delivery Objective: To ensure the fighter aircraft train- ing environment is optimized. This project is in pre-Identification and will build upon the existing CF-188 Advanced Distributed Combat Training System. It will target investment in advanced simulation architecture such as Live, Virtual, Constructive Preliminary estimate: $100 million to $249 million anticiPated timeline: 2019 Options Analysis, 2022 Definition Approval, 2024 Imple- mentation Approval, 2023 Request for Proposal Release, 2024 Contract Award, 2026 to 2036 Final Delivery Photo DND Photo DND Photo DND
