Among the systems identified for acquisition are a flight trainer for the RCAF's CH149 Cormorant helicopters, a variant of the AgustaWestland EH-101, as well as simulators for CC177 transport and the CC150 Polaris aircraft. The CC177 is Canadian terminology for Boeing's C-17 while the Polaris is a converted Airbus A310 used by the RCAF for transport and refueling.
