Aerospace executives call on Trudeau to consider Canadian plane for multi-billion dollar military program via ottawacitizen
The letter is addressed to Trudeau, deputy prime minister Chrystia Freeland, Defence Minister Anand, Industry Minister François-Philippe Champagne and Procurement Minister Helena Jaczek.
Bombardier announced May 18 it has teamed with General Dynamics Mission Systems-Canada of Ottawa to offer the RCAF a new surveillance plane to replace the current fleet of Auroras. It will offer the air force a fleet of Global 6500 aircraft outfitted with sensors developed by General Dynamics Mission Systems.
Aerospace industry sources say the Bombardier-General Dynamics teaming hopes to put emphasis on the made-in-Canada solution to the military’s needs. General Dynamics is already responsible for developing the new sensors on board the CP-140 Auroras and the CH-148 Cyclone helicopters. The companies pointed out the Canadian design is already proven and will allow for a low-risk integration of sensors and other systems.
The U.S. government is pressuring Canada to boost defence spending, in particular, and acquire more American-built equipment.
