  La ministre Anand annonce un investissement pouvant s’élever à 3,7 milliards de dollars en vue de la fourniture aux Forces armées canadiennes de vêtements et de chaussures opérationnels

  Le 20 octobre 2022 – Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu (Québec) – Défense nationale/Forces armées canadiennes Aujourd'hui, la ministre de la Défense nationale, Anita Anand, a annoncé qu'à la suite d'un processus d'approvisionnement concurrentiel, Logistik Unicorp, une entreprise établie à Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, au Québec, s'est vu accorder un contrat visant la fourniture aux Forces armées canadiennes (FAC) de vêtements et de chaussures opérationnels. Ce contrat, dont la valeur pourrait s'élever à 3,7 milliards de dollars sur 20 ans, appuiera plus de 3 000 emplois dans les industries du textile, de l'habillement et de la chaussure au Canada. Cet investissement prévoit la livraison d'approximativement 1 222 articles vestimentaires et chaussures portés par les membres des FAC durant leurs déploiements, notamment : · uniformes de combat avec le dessin de camouflage canadien (DCamC); écussons et insignes; bottes de combat, bottes pour climat aride/chaud et mukluks; · tenues d'hiver, entre autres, parkas, couvre-chefs, gants et mitaines; équipement individuel des soldats, entre autres, sacs de couchage et sacs à dos d'une journée. Ce contrat prévoit la livraison de fournitures pour plus de 160 000 personnes, y compris des membres de la Force régulière et de la Réserve, des Rangers canadiens, des Rangers juniors, des techniciens en recherche et sauvetage, des pompiers et des cadets. De plus, le contrat renferme des dispositions permettant l'approvisionnement ponctuel en équipement nécessaire à des opérations de déploiement inattendues, par exemple, la fourniture immédiate d'équipement de protection individuel en cas d'urgences critiques. Le Contrat consolidé vêtements et chaussures opérationnels (C2VCO) annoncé aujourd'hui constitue une nouvelle approche à la fourniture de l'équipement opérationnelle dont les FAC ont besoin pour mener des opérations nationales et internationales couronnées de succès. Une fois que le contrat sera bien en place, les militaires pourront commander des articles en ligne et faire livrer leurs commandes à leur porte, et les FAC, quant à elles, pourront continuer de distribuer directement les uniformes aux unités. Cette nouvelle approche se traduira par l'optimisation de la gestion des ressources et des stocks pour les FAC, l'amélioration de la disponibilité des produits et l'accroissement de la valeur pour les contribuables. Le présent projet produira des retombées économiques concrètes pour les Québécois et l'ensemble des Canadiens. Logistik Unicorp investira des fonds dans les activités de recherche et développement et la formation axée sur les compétences visant les secteurs du textile, de l'habillement et de la chaussure, ce qui donnera lieu à la création d'emplois et de possibilités d'exportation additionnelles. Logistik Unicorp doit également se conformer aux exigences obligatoires en matière de contenu canadien en veillant à ce que la majeure partie de la fabrication de vêtements et de chaussures soit réalisée au Canada. Le gouvernement du Canada est résolu à doter les FAC de l'équipement et des outils dont elles ont besoin pour servir le Canada sur la scène nationale et internationale. https://www.canada.ca/fr/ministere-defense-nationale/nouvelles/2022/10/la-ministreanand-annonce-un-investissement-pouvant-selever-a-37milliards-de-dollars-en-vue-de-la-fourniture-aux-forces-armees-canadiennes-de-veteme0.html

  QinetiQ Wins C$51m Contract with the Canadian Armed Forces’ Unmanned Aircraft System Service program

  QinetiQ has been awarded a C$51m (c£30m) contract to deliver unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) that will drive enhanced situational awareness for the Canadian Armed Forces. The contract will be delivered from QinetiQ's state-of-the-art unmanned vehicle manufacturing and operational facilities in Medicine Hat, Alberta. The vertical take-off UAS will provide Intelligence, Surveillance, Target Acquisition and Reconnaissance (ISTAR) services to the Royal Canadian Navy and Special Operations Forces Command, for both domestic and international operations. The system, based on the UMS SKELDAR V-200 UAS, will be equipped with a number of sensors including an Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radar and Electro-optic infrared (EO/IR) camera. Robert Aube, Managing Director of QinetiQ in Canada says, “We are delighted with this contract win to deliver critical over-the-horizon situation awareness to the Royal Canadian Navy and Special Operations Forces Command. This generates tactical advantages for commanders while minimising the risk to manned helicopters and personnel. As a result of the contract, we will be pleased to see a large number of jobs created in the Southern Alberta region where UAS repair and overhaul services will be carried out.” Aube continues, “We are dedicated to providing a world-class service for the Canadian Armed Forces and the information collected and used by a UAS system of this calibre will be critical for the men and women serving Canada, both domestically and abroad.” Iain Farley, Managing Director International Business at QinetiQ says, “International growth is a core part of QinetiQ's strategy and to facilitate this, we continue to make significant investments in our subsidiary businesses and complementary acquisitions. This contract provides an important proof point that this strategy is delivering. The investment we have made in Canada has helped secure our largest Canadian contract to date and provides us with a solid foundation for delivering further QinetiQ products and services into the Canadian market and beyond.” QinetiQ will work with four principal partners to deliver the ISTAR services: Canadian-UAV, Leonardo, UMS SKELDAR and Wescam: “This is an important contract win for us alongside our partners including QinetiQ and confirms our stated strategic commitment to working with global navies following our announcement last year with the German Navy,” explains Axel Cavalli-Björkman, CEO of UMS SKELDAR, the UAV joint venture between Sweden's Saab and UMS AERO GROUP of Switzerland. “With multiple systems to be delivered in Q3 this year, the Royal Canadian Navy have secured a maritime UAV platform that not only includes our heavy fuel engine manufactured by German-based Hirth Engines, but also has an ability to carry multiple payloads.” “L3 WESCAM is proud to have been chosen by QinetiQ, as it confirms our role as a trusted global supplier of advanced imaging technologies to the UAS market,” said Cameron McKenzie, Vice President, Global Sales & Business Development of L3 WESCAM. “In fact, this order marks many strategic firsts for WESCAM in the Canadian marketplace, including a first for our MX™ Series turrets to be used by the Royal Canadian Navy, a first order for our MX-8 and MX-10D in Canada and our first contract with QinetiQ in Canada.” Sean Greenwood, President, and CEO of Canadian UAVs says, “It's a privilege and an honor to be able to work with the Canadian Armed Forces and QinetiQ, especially on such a novel project. This is the foundational contract the Canadian UAV industry has been waiting for to become world-class in autonomous vehicle service delivery and technology development. QinetiQ's recognition of CUAVS' work to date with Transport Canada in developing advanced UAV operations and their commitment to supporting local SMEs has been fundamental to our growth and cannot be understated.” Wayne Smith, Head of Radar Campaigns from Leonardo says, “We are pleased to be a part of this project with QinetiQ. Our PicoSAR Active Electronically Scanned Array radar provides an unrivalled all-weather capability for Unmanned Aerial Systems. It delivers a high resolution Synthetic Aperture Radar imaging and Ground Moving Target Indication capability that will allow the SKELDAR V-200 to easily acquire a true, all-weather ground mapping and surveillance capability.” https://www.suasnews.com/2019/05/qinetiq-wins-c51m-contract-with-the-canadian-armed-forces-unmanned-aircraft-system-service-program
