Bluedrop to Deliver Another State-of-the-Art Hoist Mission Training System to the Royal Canadian Air Force
HALIFAX, Nova Scotia–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Bluedrop Performance Learning (“Bluedrop”) (TSX-V: BPLI) and its
subsidiary Bluedrop Training & Simulation are pleased to announce that
it will deliver another Hoist Mission Training System (HMTS) to the
Royal Canadian Air Force 19 Wing Comox in addition to a similar CH-148
Cyclone simulator delivered to 12 Wing Shearwater in July 2018.
The immersive virtual reality simulator will replicate the CH-149
Cormorant helicopter and be used for Search and Rescue (SAR) hoist
procedure and mission training. The HMTS will improve hoisting skills in
challenging mission scenarios, allowing trainees to practice critical
skills in a safe, true-to-life environment. The simulator provides
high-fidelity cable behaviour that responds to flight dynamics and
operator inputs with accurate turbulent flow zone rendering and complex
rescue coordination scenarios.
“Our HMTS is proving to be the standard for rear-crew training. We are
so happy to be contributing to search and rescue operations training in
Canada. Canadian SAR capabilities are a national asset and priority.
Bluedrop values being able to improve operational readiness and mission
effectiveness through improved training of these skilled operators in
some of the harshest rescue environments.” said Jean-Claude Siew, Vice
President of Technology & Simulation.
