Under the National Shipbuilding Strategy (NSS), Irving Shipbuilding is in charge of construction, while Lockheed Martin Canada is in charge of the design team, working with L3Harris to integrate systems in Canada.
Anthony Nigara, President of L3Harris Maritime, remarked, “This award validates our reputation for delivering dependable solutions and underscores L3Harris’ steadfast partnership with Lockheed Martin Canada. Our Integrated Communications System, which guarantees unmatched dependability, efficiency, and seamless connectivity essential for contemporary naval operations, is a testament to our commitment to advancing technology and innovation.”
The combination of exciting opportunities for market expansion and international exports, the program represents a major turning point for Canada’s defence industry. The first three of the program’s fifteen ships will be delivered in 2027, indicating a promising future for expansion and development.
The guarantee of dependable and efficient communication capabilities for RCN vessels, enhancing marine safety, operational effectiveness, and mission success, is at the heart of L3Harris’ Integrated Communications System. This highlights the crucial role played by L3Harris in supporting Canada’s maritime interests and national security imperatives.
