Saab and CAE sign MoU for Canadian Patrol Submarine Project
Saab and Canadian training technology leader CAE have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to develop a training and simulation solution for Canada’s next generation submarine fleet.
The agreement, signed during CANSEC 2025, marks a significant step in Saab’s commitment to deliver a comprehensive, sovereign submarine capability for Canada, supported by Canadian industry.
Under the MoU, Saab and CAE will jointly explore opportunities to provide world-leading training systems and simulation technology solutions for the Canadian Patrol Submarine Project (CPSP). This collaboration aims to ensure that Royal Canadian Navy submarine crews are equipped with advanced, mission-ready training capabilities to operate and maintain the next generation of submarines.
“We are proud to partner with CAE, a global leader in training and simulation with deep roots in Canada,” said Anders Carp, Deputy CEO of Saab. “This agreement underscores our approach to building a truly Canadian submarine solution, leveraging the best of Canadian expertise alongside Saab’s more than 100 years of experience in submarine design and construction.”
With a respected heritage in building submarines capable of operating in challenging and complex environments, Saab brings proven expertise in Arctic-capable submarine technology.
“It is our strong belief that Saab’s submarine will exceed the requirements of the Royal Canadian Navy, enhancing Canada’s naval deterrence,” noted Anders Carp.
