Toronto-based CAE Industries Ltd reports that its CAE-Link Corp unit has won a contract from the UK Ministry of Defence for a higher formation battle trainer for the British Army: terms were not disclosed, but CAE-Link will develop, install and maintain a command-and-control trainer to simulate a round-the-clock battle in real time for up to six weeks, creating the battlefield communications flow between the staff being trained, higher headquarters and subordinate unit headquarters; it will consist of a central server networked to 170 controller and operator stations at two sites in the UK and Germany; it has to be transportable for use at other training sites.
