CAE Statement on Canada’s selection of TKMS for the CPSP

Canada’s selection of TKMS and its Type 212CD platform for the Canadian Patrol Submarine Project marks an important milestone in strengthening the Royal Canadian Navy’s (RCN) future submarine capability and reinforces the critical role of training in operational readiness for maritime defence. As a longstanding partner to the Canadian Armed Forces, CAE is proud to work with TKMS to deliver an integrated training and simulation environment that prepares RCN crews for the complexity of modern submarine operations.

This collaboration goes beyond platform support. It directly advances Canada’s Defence Industrial Strategy by strengthening sovereign capabilities in training and simulation across air, land, and maritime domains through capabilities that are developed, sustained, and scaled in Canada. 

Building on our proven 65-year presence in Germany, this partnership underscores the strength of our Canadian-German partnership. Together, we will deliver a comprehensive training environment that reflects the complexity of submarine operations, ensuring mission-ready crews in Canada while supporting long-term collaboration opportunities worldwide.
