CAE and Leonardo Scale Up M-346 Pilot Training Tech
As demand shifts toward autonomous and digital air combat environments, CAE and Leonardo are deepening their collaboration to modernize the M-346 fighter-pilot training system. The partners announced a shared technology roadmap on Wednesday, focused on integrating advanced capabilities into the aircraft's next-generation training infrastructure.
This agreement deepens an existing industrial relationship, most notably at the International Flight Training School in Sardinia. At that facility, the companies currently employ a hybrid approach that blends live flight hours with high-fidelity simulations. The updated framework seeks to improve interoperability between these training environments, ensuring that student pilots are prepared for the increasing demands of modern, highly digitalized fighter aircraft.
