Top Aces Acquires Select Global to Boost RCAF Training
Top Aces has completed its acquisition of Select Global International, strengthening Canadian-led live-virtual-constructive training for the RCAF.
Top Aces, a Canadian defense contractor specializing in advanced aerial training, has completed its acquisition of Select Global International, a move designed to expand the company's live-virtual-constructive, or LVC, training capabilities for the Royal Canadian Air Force, according to an announcement released through GlobalNewswire.
