03 Leveraging Open Architecture System   ___
Lockheed Martin Canada's innovative Combat Management System (CMS) is a core solution that adapts to a variety of subsystems. Building on this foundation, our combat system integration methodology was repurposed for surveillance purposes on AOPS.

A Trusted Solution for Canada's Navy

With more than three decades of demonstrating our commitment and capability to the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN), as the Combat System Integrator for the HALIFAX Class frigates, our team delivers valuable commonality to AOPS.

Lockheed Martin Canada's fielded solution offers a highly capable, low-risk solution for Canada's new patrol ships.

04 Strengthening Canadian Industry   ___

Success on this program is in large part attributed to Lockheed Martin Canada's strong Canadian supply chain. Lockheed Martin Canada manages four Canada-based subcontractors as part of the AOPS contract, selected through competition in the design phase.

This approach demonstrates a commitment to delivering best quality and value for Canada.

Lockheed Martin Canada is a key partner in achieving best quality and value for Canada in the production of the Arctic Offshore Patrol Ships. We have worked with them over the last 3 years to find the right command and surveillance solution to best serve the Navy in these important ships and to achieve the best overall benefit to Canada.
