The CSC team
With decades of partnership with the Government of Canada and experience in delivering complex naval programs to the Royal Canadian Navy, Irving Shipbuilding Inc. and the Lockheed Martin Canada-led design team will successfully steer the CSC’s combat management systems from design to delivery.
Irving Shipbuilding Inc. is building 15 new Canadian Surface Combatants at its Halifax shipyard as part of the National Shipbuilding Strategy, the Government of Canada’s long-term strategy that, in addition to renewing the federal fleet, is reinvigorating the shipbuilding sector, an industry sector vital to Canadian sovereignty.
The Design Team
Irving Shipbuilding Inc. has engaged Lockheed Martin Canada to lead the design team, a powerhouse consortium of companies (BAE Systems, CAE, L3 Harris, MDA, and Ultra Electronics) and suppliers that will design the ship and integrate the CSC’s combat management system, right here in Canada.
The Canadian Surface Combatant program is already delivering significant economic benefits to Canada, that will be measured in billions of dollars over the life of the program. It will bring advancements in Canadian technology and manufacturing all along the Canadian supply chain, including among SMEs; investments in research and development; and, increased global export opportunities.
