General Dynamics Bags C4ISR Contracts for the Canadian Army
The Government of Canada has awarded four contracts to the General Dynamics Mission Systems–Canada to support the Land Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) system for the Canadian Army.
The Land Command Support System (LCSS) contracts include the System of Systems Engineering and Integration, Core Network Sustainment Services, Applications Sustainment Services, Intelligence, Surveillance, Target Acquisition, and Reconnaissance (ISTAR). They are cumulatively valued at up to CA$ 1.68 billion (US$ 1.3 billion).
“General Dynamics Mission Systems–Canada has been supporting the Canadian Armed Forces for over 75 years with superb engineering and technical talent that enables us to innovate and excel alongside our industry and government colleagues,” said Joel Houde, Vice President and General Manager of General Dynamics Mission Systems–Canada. “We are prepared to meet the challenges of the modern battlespace and will continue the digitization of the Canadian Armed Forces today and into the future,” Houde said.
These contracts bolster the C4ISR system for the Canadian Armed Forces and are set to fortify the LCSS and improve the Canadian Army’s capabilities. Despite this land C4ISR order, spending in Canada will primarily be driven by procuring new aerial platforms, including military aircraft, helicopters, and UAVs, according to GlobalData’s “The Global C4ISR Market 2018-2028” report.
This investment marks a step toward equipping the Canadian military with capabilities, reinforcing the nation’s commitment to security and technological advancement. As General Dynamics Mission Systems–Canada takes the lead, efforts will be made to ensure readiness in the face of contemporary threats.
