Wolfram Announces SystemModeler -- Launching a New Era of Integrated Design Optimization

Wed, 23 May 2012 16:55:00 +0000

Today the Wolfram Group announced the release of Wolfram SystemModeler -- the high-fidelity modeling environment that uses versatile symbolic components and computation to drive design efficiency and innovation. Traditional systems have focused on optimization just within the modeling feedback loop. Instead, SystemModeler integrates with the Wolfram technology platform to enable modeling, analysis (of many types), and reporting, all together achieving the first fully agile design optimization loop.

"Agility to iterate between modeling and engineering phases will be a key driver of tomorrow's design optimization," says Roger Germundsson, Director of Research & Development at Wolfram. "The Wolfram solution uniquely puts these together into an integrated design."

Many of today's tools are limited in their fidelity by their foundations: using block diagrams that poorly represent key components, and producing models just for simulation and not engineering analysis. Moreover, computation is numerics-only or not integrated at all. It's the SystemModeler approach of versatile symbolic components backed by the ultimate computation environment that enables an all-in-one integrated workflow.

"You wouldn't build a skyscraper just with stone blocks, so why model your future innovations just with block diagrams," says Jan Brugård, CEO of Wolfram MathCore and SystemModeler Manager. "Symbolic components provide the full gamut of high-fidelity representation. Be empowered to think the unthinkable -- and then test it out."

"If you think models are just for modeling, you're missing the future of design optimization," continues Brugård. "Instead, build the high-fidelity model once for modeling, simulation, and analysis. Computation isn't an optional extra, it's central to the infrastructure of modern model optimization."

Wolfram computation technology has been renowned for driving automation, unification, and other key principles across apparently disparate workflows, achieving dramatic improvements in innovation. The acquisition of MathCore and this first stage in the integration of SystemModeler into the Wolfram platform extends those principles to systems engineering -- driving insight, innovation, and results.

"I'm excited to see technologies as diverse as linguistic querying, computable documents, symbolic computations, and the world's most advanced statistical analysis start to combine with SystemModeler into a single, integrated design workflow," says Conrad Wolfram, Director of Strategic & International Development at Wolfram. "We're late to systems engineering but right at the start of the new era of integrated design optimization. We've got an unrivaled technology stack for implementing this change."

About Wolfram

Wolfram is the company where computation meets knowledge. The organization pursues a long-term vision to develop the science, technology, and tools to make computation an ever-more-potent force in today's and tomorrow's world. The company is the developer of Mathematica, the world's most powerful integrated computation system, and Wolfram|Alpha, the widely used and continually growing computational knowledge engine.

- Q4 revenue up 9% and net income attributable to equity holders up 17% compared to prior year

(NYSE:CAE)(TSX:CAE) - CAE today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full-year ended March 31, 2012. Net income attributable to equity holders was $53.2 million ($0.21 per share) this quarter, compared to $45.5 million ($0.18 per share) last year. Net income attributable to equity holders for the year was $180.3 million ($0.70 per share), compared to $160.3 million ($0.62 per share) last year. All financial information is in Canadian dollars.

Excluding the impact of acquisition and integration charges this year and the reversal of a restructuring provision last year, net income attributable to equity holders was $183.0 million ($0.71 per share) in fiscal year 2012 compared to $159.5 million ($0.62 per share) in fiscal 2011.

Revenue for the quarter was $506.7 million, 9% higher than $465.6 million in the fourth quarter last year. For the full year, revenue was $1,821.2 million, up 12% over $1,630.8 million last year.

"CAE achieved a solid performance in the fourth quarter and full-year, laying the foundation for our future growth," said Marc Parent, CAE's President and Chief Executive Officer. "We had strong revenue growth and margins in our civil business with record orders, and despite the challenges in defence, our military business finished the year with solid order intake, continued revenue growth and good operating margins. In New Core Markets, we are on track to creating a sizable and profitable business beyond our core. Our strong cash flow, record order backlog, solid pipeline of opportunities, and recent acquisition of Oxford Aviation Academy give us confidence in CAE's continued success."

Military segments

Revenue for our combined Military segments increased 4% in the fourth quarter to $267.1 million compared to $257.3 million last year. For the year, revenue was $897.3 million, up 4% from $865.9 million last year.

Combined Military operating income was $45.6 million (17.1% of revenue) for the quarter, compared to $46.0 million (17.9% of revenue) last year. For the full year, operating income was $142.1 million (15.8% of revenue), compared to $155.3 million (17.9% of revenue) last year.

We booked orders during the fourth quarter in the air domain for five C-130 Hercules aircraft simulators and a UH-72A Lakota helicopter training device for the US Army. We also received contracts to upgrade the US Air Force KC-135 tanker aircraft simulators as part of the KC-135 Aircrew Training System program. In the land domain, we received a contract from the US Army to upgrade the High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) maintenance training system, and we booked an order for tank simulators in Asia. Also in Asia, CAE formed a venture with the government of Brunei to develop the CAE Brunei Multi-Purpose Training Centre, under which CAE was awarded an initial $170 million in contracts to provide long-term services involving helicopter and fixed-wing aircraft training.

During the year, we grew our combined military segment order backlog to $2.19 billion, including a record level of US defence contracts. Combined Military orders in the quarter totaled $419.7 million for a book-to-sales ratio of 1.57x. Orders were $959.7 million for the year for a book-to-sales ratio of 1.07x.

Our pipeline of opportunities in defence remains large, and as demonstrated by our order intake this year, business is increasingly coming from high growth regions like Asia and the Middle East, which are steadily modernizing their forces. At the same time, we are seeing lower activity in Europe, where military budgets are being reduced. We are taking measures to refocus our resources and capabilities in response to this change in the defence market, and consequently, CAE's current workforce of 8,000 is being reduced by approximately 300 employees. CAE is providing appropriate severance packages and other assistance to affected employees, most of whom have already been advised. In relation to this activity, CAE estimates a total restructuring expense of approximately $25 million to be recorded mainly in the first half of fiscal year 2013.

Additional financial highlights

Income taxes this quarter were $18.4 million representing an effective tax rate of 26%, compared to 27% last year. The decrease was mainly due to a change in the mix of income from various jurisdictions.

Free cash flow⁽³⁾ was $106.7 million this quarter and $173.7 million for the year, representing a 96% earnings to cash conversion. Free cash flow increased by $46.5 million compared to $127.2 million last year.

Capital expenditures totalled $44.4 million this quarter, including $36.1 million in support of our growth initiatives and the balance for maintenance. Annual capital expenditures totalled $165.7 million, including $116.8 million for growth initiatives and the balance for maintenance.

Net debt⁽⁴⁾ was $534.3 million as at March 31, 2012 compared with $593.9 million as at December 31, 2011. The decrease of $59.6 million was mainly due to an increase in cash before proceeds and repayments of long-term debt.

CAE will pay a dividend of $0.04 per share on June 29, 2012 to shareholders of record at the close of business on June 15, 2012.

Notes

(1)	Operating profit is non-GAAP measure that shows us how we have performed before the effects of certain financing decisions and tax structures. We track operating profit because we believe it makes it easier to compare our performance with previous periods, and with companies and industries that do not have the same capital structure or tax laws.

(2)	Backlog is a non-GAAP measure that represents the expected value of orders we have received but have not yet executed.

(3)	Free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure that shows us how much cash we have available to build the business, repay debt and meet ongoing financial obligations. We use it as an indicator of our financial strength and liquidity. We calculate it by taking the net cash generated by our continuing operating activities, subtracting maintenance capital expenditures, other assets not related to growth and dividends paid and adding proceeds from disposal of property, plant and equipment.

(4)	Net debt is a non-GAAP measure we use to monitor how much debt we have after taking into account liquid assets such as cash and cash equivalents. We use it as an indicator of our overall financial position, and calculate it by taking our total long-term debt, including the current portion of long-term debt, and subtracting cash and cash equivalents.

Virgin America Opens New Flight Simulator Pilot Training Center - The First of its Kind in Northern California

Tue, 22 May 2012 22:00:00 +0000

Virgin America Opens New Flight Simulator Pilot Training Center - The First of its Kind in Northern California

Local Leaders and Teammates Celebrate the Opening of the New Facility - a Growth Milestone for the Only California-based Airline

PR Newswire

SAN FRANCISCO, May 22, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Virgin America, the only major domestic airline headquartered in California, today marked the opening of a new flight training facility with a state-of-the-art Required Navigational Performance (RNP)-certified CAE Airbus A320 full-flight simulator– the first such pilot training facility of its kind in Northern California. Located in Burlingame, California near the airline's corporate headquarters and its San Francisco International Airport (SFO) base of operations, the new Virgin America Flight Training Center represents an $11.7 million investment. As one of the few expanding U.S. airlines, the new facility will allow Virgin America to continue to grow and train its pilots using the most advanced technology available. The CAE simulator is able to accurately reproduce in great detail, the tactile, visual and operational environment that pilots experience in the airline's actual Airbus A320 Family aircraft. Many of the airline's teammates joined Virgin America President and CEO David Cush, U.S. Representative Jackie Speier (D-San Mateo) and other community officials and business partners, to mark the opening of the new facility at a ribbon cutting and open house today.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20090123/VIRGINAMERICALOGO)

"Virgin America has been one of the few growing airlines in the current economic climate, and to date we've created 2600 jobs, expanded to 18 destinations and welcomed more than 17 million guests," said Virgin America President and CEO David Cush. "Despite our rapid growth, our teammates continue to build a different kind of airline and deliver a product that sweeps the awards every year. In the very best sense, this airline represents the innovative spirit of the Bay Area – and we're pleased to invest in a next generation training facility that positions us for the next five years of growth and beyond."

Guests at the opening event today had the opportunity to "test fly" the new electric motion-based simulator that replicates the full flight experience for pilot training. The simulator offers a training capacity of more than 6000 hours per year and allows the airline to provide its pilots with a seamless training experience in the Bay Area. Previously, the airline trained its flight crew at simulator facilities in Texas and Florida. The carrier began training flight crew at the new Burlingame facility earlier this spring.

"I congratulate Virgin America for reaching this important milestone," said Congresswoman Jackie Speier. "By bringing all of their flight training to the Bay Area, Virgin America is once again providing fuel to our local economy. The airline continues to create jobs, stimulate travel and drive economic development for our region – and this next step allows them to not only continue to grow, but to do so responsibly – with an eye toward sustainable best practices."

As an RNP-certified simulator, the new facility will allow the airline to grow using the most advanced technology. Signed into law earlier this year, the FAA Reauthorization Bill established a timeline for phased implementation of RNP at major airports. RNP represents the next step in aircraft navigation offering greater flexibility in route design through the ability to conduct continuous descent and curved approaches via GPS inputs. Virgin America estimates that utilizing RNP to its full capability could reduce fuel usage by as much as 400 pounds per flight. At airports like SFO, RNP will also allow for more efficient runway use during low visibility conditions. RNP certification requires that all pilots undergo training using an RNP-ready simulator. The opening of the new facility paves the way for Virgin America to move to RNP approaches over the next 12 to 18 months.

Since its 2007 launch, Virgin America has made environmentally sustainable practices part of its training and operations. The carrier operates a new Airbus A320 Family fleet that is up to 25 percent more CO2 efficient than the average U.S. fleet. In 2011, the airline grew into its new home as the anchor tenant at SFO's Terminal 2 (T2) – the first major LEED® Gold-certified airport terminal in the U.S. Virgin America is making additional investments within its T2 spaces to ultimately achieve LEED® Platinum-certification. The airline's Burlingame headquarters is LEED® Silver-certified. In 2011, the airline announced a major fleet order as the launch customer for the new fuel-efficient Airbus A320neo aircraft and GE/CFM LEAP engine.

CAE, a global leader in modeling, simulation and training for civil aviation and defense, developed Virgin America's new simulator and provides regulatory support as well as on-site maintenance needs. The new facility is part of the Airbus-CAE Training Cooperation, a joint global network of training centers for Airbus aircraft types.

"Since its launch five years ago, Virgin America has experienced record-setting growth and continues to expand," said Jeff Roberts, CAE Group President, Civil Simulation Products, Training and Services. "The CAE facilities and engineering teams have done an excellent job in developing systems that serve the current and future training needs of Virgin America and other Airbus operators."

At a time when most airlines have been contracting or shedding jobs, Virgin America has proven to be one of the fastest growing U.S. airlines in history – with plans to add 200-500 new jobs on an annual basis over the next several years. The airline's decision to locate its headquarters in the Bay Area has created thousands of local jobs, lowered fares through competition and helped make SFO one of the nation's few expanding airports. The airline has a fleet of 52 A320 Family Airbus aircraft – with 60 additional aircraft slated for delivery from 2013-2019. Virgin America flies to San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York, Washington D.C. (Dulles), Seattle, Las Vegas, San Diego, Boston, Fort Lauderdale, Orlando, Dallas-Fort Worth, Los Cabos, Cancun, Chicago, Puerto Vallarta, Palm Springs, Philadelphia, Portland (as of June 5, 2012) and Washington Reagan National (as of later this summer).

About Virgin America: Headquartered in California, Virgin America is a new domestic airline that offers guests attractive fares and a host of innovative features aimed at reinventing air travel. As the only airline headquartered in the Bay Area, Virgin America's principle base of operations is SFO's sleek and sustainable new T2. Known for beautifully-designed planes with WiFi, power outlets and touch-screen entertainment at every seat, Virgin America has swept the travel awards since its 2007 launch, including being named "Best U.S. Airline" in Conde Nast Traveler's Readers' Choice Awards and Travel + Leisure's World's Best Awards.

EADS North America UH-72A Lakota Fleet Hits 100,000 Flight Hour Milestone

Tue, 22 May 2012 14:50:00 +0000

Lakota Fleet Achieves 100,000 Flight Hours With 219 Aircraft Operating in U.S., Europe, Caribbean, and Pacific With Army and Army National Guard Units

The U.S. Army's fleet of 219 UH-72A Lakota helicopters surpassed the 100,000 flight hour milestone during operations on May 10. The 100,000 flight hour aircraft, configured for Opposing Force training missions, was flown by Chief Warrant Officer 3 Jason Lacrosse and Chief Warrant Officer 4 Christopher Ezell of the Joint Multinational Readiness Center's Falcon Observer/Controller-Trainer Team in Hohenfels, Germany, during a multinational training exercise.

The Army's fleet of Lakota helicopters, built by the company's American Eurocopter business unit in Columbus, Miss., have been in operation since November 2006 with all 219 helicopters to date delivered on schedule and within budget. The Army's requirement is 345 Lakotas through 2016. An additional five aircraft have been delivered to the U.S. Navy for test pilot training.

"Achieving 100,000 flight hours in just five-and-a-half years and remaining on schedule and on cost is an extraordinary accomplishment for a major defense acquisition program," said Col. Thomas Todd, the Army's Utility Helicopter Project Manager.

"Over the past seven years, the Lakota program has been a model of program execution, and this latest flight milestone reinforces the reliability and solid performance of the UH-72A," said Sean O'Keefe, EADS North America Chairman and CEO. "Our entire industry team takes great pride in delivering a fleet of aircraft with an extremely high operational availability rate, mission flexibility and extraordinary reliability. The program's success is built on a very strong partnership with the Army program office."

The 100,000 flight hour milestone reflects the structure and execution of the Lakota program's logistics concept. A combination of full contractor logistics support (CLS) and hybrid CLS enables the Army and Army National Guard to operate the aircraft in accordance with their flying hour plan. The Army program office, military units, and the industry team of EADS North America, American Eurocopter and Helicopter Support International has provided tailored program logistics to the Army and Army National Guard since 2006.

The Lakota fleet has averaged an operational availability rate greater than 90 percent for locations with the full contractor logistics (CLS) support, encompassing 18 different military units. The hybrid CLS is equally successful with a parts support fill rate exceeding 95 percent. These metrics are 10 percent higher than the program's contractual requirements.

The latest evolution of the Lakota is delivered in the Security and Support (S&S) Battalion Mission Equipment Package configuration for the Army National Guard, which is currently using numerous S&S Lakotas along the U.S. Southwest border, flying 1,500 hours in the first three months of operation.

The S&S MEP contains a centerline electro-optical infrared (EO/IR) sensor, a 30 million candlepower search light, analog/digital video downlink, rear observer's console with a 15-inch display, an enhanced tactical communications suite, an onboard digital video recorder, 10.4-inch auxiliary displays for the pilot and copilot, and a video management system.

The UH-72A is a Defense Acquisition Category (ACAT) 1C major defense acquisition program for the U.S. Defense Department, and it marked one of the most rapid introductions of a new aircraft in the U.S. Army's history. Deliveries of the UH-72A to National Guard and Active Component units allow aging OH-58 and UH-1 rotary-wing aircraft to be retired and allow UH-60 Black Hawks to be returned to combat operations.
