May 01 2024 - 8:30AM
Calian Group Ltd. (TSX: CGY), a diverse products and services
company providing innovative healthcare, communications, learning
and cybersecurity solutions, has been awarded a major new contract
valued at up to $90 million. This agreement with General Dynamics
Mission Systems–Canada (GDMS-C) will enhance the Canadian Army's
capabilities through advanced land command, control,
communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance and
reconnaissance (C4ISR) systems. The six-year contract encompasses
IT and software development services, marking a significant
commitment to Canada's defence infrastructure.
Calian will provide IT and a variety of technical
software services—reinforcing our relationship with General
Dynamics and the Department of National Defence (DND). GDMS-C
provides C4ISR systems, which offer the Canadian Army an improved
ability to protect the communications and information systems it
depends on while continuing to develop technologies that generate
economic impact for Canada.
“We are excited to continue our partnership with
GDMS-C in support of the Canadian Army,” says Kevin Ford, CEO,
Calian. “Calian continues to invest in leading-edge technologies
and expertise that will support these critical systems when they
cannot afford to fail. It also reinforces our commitment to the
women and men of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF). From their
training to operational readiness, Calian is in their corner.”
Calian previously partnered with GDMS-C in support
of C4ISR systems with a five-year contract from 2019-2024. This new
contract represents the continuation of this relationship,
bolstering the strong growth of Calian’s IT and Cyber Solutions
(ITCS) division, while reinforcing Calian’s strategic relationship
with DND.
“For over 40 years, Calian has delivered confidence
to military customers,” says Michael Tremblay, ITCS President,
Calian. “Our team keeps a forward focus to anticipate their
evolving needs and remains at the forefront of this critical
technology. We're proud to continue to support Canadian soldiers
both at home and abroad.”
Calian will continue to support the economic
development requirements of Government of Canada's Industrial and
Technological Benefits (ITB) and Indigenous Participation Plan
(IPP) programs as a subcontractor to GDMS-C for the Land C4ISR
program.
Calian has a long history of providing services and
solutions for a wide range of defence and space programs, from
health services to military training to satellite engineering.
