The company has completed several projects for the Canadian Army, including extensive repair and refit work on the Army’s light armoured vehicle fleet, major upgrade tasks on the Army’s Leopard tanks and more recently, a multi-year life extension program for the Army’s M113 family of vehicles.
The two companies have partnered previously on the LEMUR remotely controlled weapon system, which is being offered for the Tactical Armoured Patrol Vehicle, CCV, LAV III programs and M113 upgrades.
