OTTAWA, Canada. The Canadian Army will receive specialized command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (C4ISR) software development and integration services via a joint venture led by Thales, according to a recent company statement.
Thales, along with KWESST and Modis Canada, will focus on land C4ISR software systems engineering under the contract, which was awarded by the Canadian Army's Directorate Land Command Systems Program Management (DLCSPM), the statement reads.
The contract, which has an initial term of five years and five additional one-year extension options, is valued at up to $136 million CAD.
