Nov. 29 (UPI) -- Lockheed Martin Canada has delivered its
proposal to the Canadian government for building new vessels for the Canadian
Surface Combatant, or CSC, program.
The company -- with partners BAE Systems, CAE, L3
Technologies, MDA and Ultra Electronics are offering the Type 26 Global Combat
Ship, or GCS, with high-tech platform innovations from prominent Canadian
companies for the program. The proposal includes the Canadian-developed combat
management system, CMS 330.
"Lockheed Martin Canada has been Canada's trusted
Combat System Integrator for more than three decades, and our team can be
counted on to deliver affordable solutions, sustained job creation, and
technology development in Canada for export potential," Rosemary
Chapdelaine, vice president and general manager for Lockheed Martin Canada
Rotary and Mission Systems, said in a press release.
"We'll employ our proven collaborative partnership
model to successfully manage the highly complex systems integration process --
including integrating our CMS 330 Combat Management System with the Type 26
Global Combat Ship -- and leverage the innovation and talent here at home which
will ultimately result in unprecedented economic outcome for Canada."
The proposal, the details of which have not been
disclosed, were submitted earlier this week.
BAE's Type 26 frigate has been selected by the Royal Navy
and steel has been cut on the first of a planned eight ships. It is designed as
a multi-mission vessel with a low acoustic signature.
