Soucy International Inc., Defense Division, has been awarded the $7.5M contract to manufacture and deliver composite rubber track (CRT) systems for the Norwegian Defence Materiel Agency's (NDMA) Armoured Combat Support Vehicle (ACSV).
In May 2018, as part of the Norwegian Armed Forces logistic and support vehicle recapitalization program, Flensburger Fahrzeugbau Gesellschaft (FFG) won the tender to manufacture and supply ACSV's to the Norwegian Army. FFG proposed to base the ACSV around their current PMMC G5 vehicle.
The ACSV is a 26mT tracked platform with the capacity to transport freight goods containers weighing up to 6mT. It has container mounts to accommodate both 6.5- and 10-feet freight containers and in conjunction with the increased durability and low maintenance attributes of composite rubber tracks (CRT) can enhance the military's battlefield logistical reach. The reduced vibrations enabled by the integration of CRT also aids in the protection of sensors and electronics located on other military equipment such as radars which may also be mounted on the ACSV's stable framed platform. Due to the ACSVs open and closed hull configurations, it can be adapted in the closed configuration to house a command centre or ambulance (casualty evacuation). The ACSV can be adapted to a wide range of operations including domestic disaster relief and international peace support missions.

On a appris récemment dans les médias que le gouvernement canadien pourrait considérer l’option d’attribuer un contrat de gré à gré à la société Boeing pour l'acquisition de 8 à 12 avions de patrouille et de surveillance P-8 Poseidon, une plateforme qui est basée sur le Boeing 737. Cet achat, dont le coût est estimé à plus de 5 milliards de dollars, viserait à remplacer les avions CP-140 Aurora de l’Aviation royale canadienne.
