Pages: 187 pages Complex scenarios and emergency situations can be practised in complete safety training never ties up the original equipment which remains available for actual operations test and qualify procedures and configurations for new load types Besides the CPTT Rheinmetall has supplied various A400M user nations around the globe with other cargo training devices such as the Load Master Work Station Trainer/LMWST and the aforementioned CHT-E.  With the transfer of the CPTT to LTG 62 a total of ten highly realistic A400M simulator systems from Rheinmetall are now assuring a high standard of training and instruction in the A400M cargo domain In 2019 Rheinmetall transferred a CPTT to the Royal Malaysian Air Force CHT-E simulators have already been supplied to the Airbus International Training Centre (ITC) in Seville There is an LMWST at the Airbus ITC in Sevilla one at France’s national A400M training centre in Orléans and another at the Royal Air Force National Training Centre in Brize Norton Rheinmetall Expands its Maintenance Capability in Australia Rheinmetall Acquires Stascheit Ammunition Recovery Company Securing the Supply Chain for Propellant Production Rheinmetall and LM Host International Summit Showcasing Long Range Precision Fires GMARS Launcher Digitisation: Rheinmetall Ignites the Future of Autonomous Mobility for the Future Battlefield With New Centres of Excellence NGC to Develop Additional Relay Ground Stations to Support USSF's Next-Gen OPIR Program Norway -

Enhanced (CHT-ECargo Hold Trainer – Enhanced) The structure of this trainer is much more detailed than that of the A400M CPTTCargo Part Task Trainer It also has more functions compared to the CPTTCargo Part Task Trainer That is why the CHT-ECargo Hold Trainer – Enhanced can cover a considerable amount of training contents already today Wunstorf will also receive a simulator of the new type this simulator will be used for the development and definition of procedures and processes and it will allow loading significantly larger loads and tonnages The CPTTCargo Part Task Trainer in Wunstorf will allow the physical handling of loads and cargo that are similar to deadweight capacity of the A400M Using simulators like the full-scale CPTTCargo Part Task Trainer does not only save mission aircraft Training can also be carried out in a flexible manner and independently of external influences flexible means that weather forecasts and the consideration of light conditions are no longer part of the curriculum when working with the simulator This independence increases training opportunities and ultimately contributes to enhancing the capabilities of training participants Add to that another advantage: The cargo hold can be adapted to the individual needs at any time conditions are created that are as realistic as possible both for simulations on the ground and in the air The technical branch at BAAINBwBundesamt für Ausrüstung Informationstechnik und Nutzung der Bundeswehr responsible for the in-service use management of A400M had coordinated the respective requirements with the users in advance two individually adapted A400M CPTTCargo Part Task Trainer were procured by BAAINBwBundesamt für Ausrüstung Informationstechnik und Nutzung der Bundeswehr With a total order volume of 33 million euros for both cargo part task trainers and a delivery time of about two years two objectives set in advance were reached Decide for yourself which data is recorded and customise your settings here You can find detailed information about data protection in our privacy policy Decide for yourself which data is recorded and customise your settings here.

politician as a local representative in central Germany sparked outrage across the political spectrum on Monday.  a senior figure of the far-right National Democratic Party (NPD) in the central state of Hesse was elected local representative of the small Altenstadt-Waldsiedlung district on Thursday leader of the conservative Christian Democratic Union (CDU) told public broadcaster ARD that the growing outrage over the vote was understandable She called for legal steps to remove the NPD politician from office and underlined that they would also discuss within the party “how such an incident could have happened.” The CDU representative in Altenstadt-Waldsiedlung’s board of councilors voted in favor of the NPD politician as representatives from the Social Democrat Party (SPD) and liberal Free Democratic Party (FDP) also backed him One of the councilors told local media over the weekend that they elected the NPD politician as the local representative of Altenstadt-Waldsiedlung because no one else had adequate knowledge of computers or the internet often called an ”Ortsvorsteher,” represents the district within the municipality SPD Secretary General Lars Klingbeil heavily criticized the vote and backed calls for a new vote to remove the NPD politician from office adding that this should be the case not only in federal politics but also at the level of state or local politics German press agency DPA reported on Monday that the CDU and FDP have agreed to file a joint motion for a new vote The local representative can be removed from office by a two-thirds majority on the board of councilors 19 February 2021 – The German Air Force continues to count on Rheinmetall’s cutting-edge simulation expertise for training its A400M Military transport aircraft personnel contracted with Rheinmetall Electronics to supply not just one but two additional training simulators for the European A400M Earmarked for German air bases in Wunstorf and Altenstadt the two simulators will be delivered and ready to operate at the end of 2022 or the beginning of 2023 The order is worth a figure in the lower two-digit million-euro range Air Transport Squadron 62 will receive an A400M Cargo Hold Part Task Trainer (CPTT) This will augment the A400M training centre’s existing suite of simulation and training systems which includes the advanced Cargo Hold Trainer Enhanced (CHT-E) especially loadmasters and ground personnel a second CPTT will be installed at the Airmobile and Air Transport School in Altenstadt where it will be used for training airfreight handling personnel and paratroopers The CPTT will be the base’s first A400M simulator The A400M CPTT is an exact full-scale replica of the A400M cargo hold It permits highly realistic training of cargo hold crews and ground personnel the CPTT enables mission-specific configuration of the cargo hold Trainees can practise the preparation of cargo The system lends itself to initial and advanced training as well as refresher courses and mission preparation Complex scenarios and emergency situations can be practiced in complete safety since there is no need to use the original equipment which therefore remains ready for real-world operations All of this ensures that personnel are well-prepared and qualified to carry out their tasks test and qualify procedures and configurations for new types of loads This is possible thanks to the CPTT’s highly accurate replication of the original equipment Constituting a systematic expansion of Rheinmetall’s line of cargo-related products the CPTT also enables the complete spectrum of cargo training assets to be adapted for other platforms Rheinmetall has supplied various A400M user nations with other types of cargo training equipment including the Loadmaster Workstation Trainer (LMWST) and the aforementioned CHT-E the latest order brings to ten the total number of sophisticated high-fidelity Rheinmetall A400M cargo training systems assuring a high standard of instruction and training in the A400M cargo domain Rheinmetall supplied the first A400M CPTT to the Royal Malaysian Air Force in 2019 CHT-E simulators are now in service at the Airbus International Training Centre (ITC) in Seville; with the Royal Air Force in Brize Norton in the UK the German Air Force in Wunstorf; and with a French Army airborne brigade near Toulouse The LMWST is on hand at the Airbus ITC in Seville; France’s national A400M training centre in Orléans; and at the Royal Air Force National Training Centre in Brize Norton Indo Defence – Jakarta – 11-14
