Taiwan F-16 Training Gets $14.8M CAE Deal to Keep Simulators Running as First Block 70 Jets Arrive

CAE USA received a $14.8 million contract to provide logistics support for Taiwan's F-16 Block 20V and Block 70 Mission Training Center programme. The award covers contractor logistics support, spare-parts management, travel, data and relocation-related services supporting the training equipment. Work will take place at Chiayi, Hualien and Taitung in Taiwan and Morris Air National Guard Base in Tucson, Arizona, with completion expected by January 30, 2032. Awarded on October 28 through a sole-source Foreign Military Sales acquisition, the contract initially obligates approximately $2.2 million and sustains training systems rather than purchasing additional fighters.
