Montreal, Canada, May 29, 2025 – CAE, a global leader in training and simulation, and Saab have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to cooperate on a training and simulation solution for Canada’s future submarine fleet.

As part of the MoU, CAE and Saab will work together to explore opportunities to deliver cutting-edge training and simulation solutions for the Canadian Patrol Submarine Project (CPSP). The goal is to ensure the mission and operational readiness of the Royal Canadian Navy in order for its crews to be fully prepared to operate and maintain the next generation of submarines with advanced, mission-ready training tools.

“This agreement reflects our commitment to strengthening Canada’s sovereign defence capabilities through meaningful industrial collaboration,” said France Hébert, Division President, Defense & Security Canada, and Global Operations Lead. “Partnering with global innovators like Saab on initiatives such as the Canadian Patrol Submarine Project highlights how the Canadian industry can lead with innovation, agility, and purpose — delivering solutions that enhance operational readiness and reinforce our role as a trusted defence partner.”

As a leading training systems integrator, CAE draws on decades of global expertise in naval training and simulation to support a broad range of maritime operations across multiple platforms. By implementing next-generation technologies, CAE plays a vital role in strengthening operational readiness and advancing defence modernization.
