Thales teams with DRS for Canada's LRSS
Thales has partnered with DRS Sustainment Systems to provide command and control capabilities for the Canadian Army's Light Armoured Vehicle-Reconnaissance Surveillance System (LRSS) project, Thales announced on 10 June.
The work to be performed by the partnership falls under the eight-year, firm fixed-fee $100 million contract awarded to DRS by General Dynamics Land Systems-Canada in April 2015.
Under this agreement, Thales will design, develop and qualify Battlefield Operational Surveillance Software (BOSS). BOSS allows users to configure, control and monitor surveillance suite sensors in the field from a customised user interface.
The BOSS suite will be integrated into the latest version of the Surveillance and Battlefield Reconnaissance Equipment (SABRE) system from DRS Sustainment Systems. It will integrate laser, thermal imaging and radar systems on a stabilised mast.
Alain Gauthier, vice-president of secure communications and information systems in Canada, Thales, said: 'We are proud to have this opportunity to reinforce our position as the trusted provider of command and control software to the Canadian Army and look forward to collaborating with DRS to enable this capability.'
