OTTAWA, Ontario. CAE Defense & Security won a contract from General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) to support the MQ-9B SkyGuardian Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS) for the Government of Canada, the company announced in a statement.

The contract includes the provision of aircrew and maintenance technician training, training devices, and courseware tailored to Canada's RPAS requirements.
