The United States Navy has exercised contract options for CAE USA to design and manufacture two additional MH-60R tactical operational flight trainers (TOFTs). The first simulator will be a fixed-based MH-60R TOFT delivered to Naval Air Station (NAS) Jacksonville, USA, in late 2013. The other MH-60R TOFT will also be a fixed-based simulator delivered to the Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) at Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii, USA, in late 2013. CAE USA is now under contract or has delivered a total of eight MH-60R TOFTs to the United States Navy since winning a competitive procurement in 2006.
