Canada orders radars, soldier systems
Rheinmetall has been awarded two orders to supply a Medium-Range Radar (MRR) system and an Integrated Soldier System (ISS) to the Canadian armed forces, the company announced on 28 July.
The two orders, potentially worth up to $379.24 million, will run for several years. At present, the contracts are worth around $107.69 million, with significant expansion options.
Rheinmetall will supply the MRR system in cooperation with ELTA Systems, which will produce the ELM-2084 multi-mission radar. The contract order will run for three years and see Rheinmetall deliver ten systems and associated logistical and in-service support.
The MRR will enable Canadian forces to determine the impact and launch points of enemy mortar rounds, artillery and rockets, and track fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters, UAS, cruise missiles and anti-radiation missiles.
Rheinmetall Canada will supply the ISS in cooperation with Saab. The modular ISS features communications and navigation technology and can be integrated into the Land Command Support System of the Canadian military.
The contract will run for four years, with the first qualification phase being worth around $5.38 million. Once fully accepted, up to 4,144 systems may be ordered.
