Aerospace

From our Montreal office, we address the regional and business aircraft market worldwide, with major customers including Bombardier and Gulfstream. We design and integrate avionics suits, flight controls highlighting Fly-By-Wire technology, head-up displays, enhanced vision systems, SATCOM systems, integrated electronic standby instruments and other innovative concepts.

We bring to our Canadian business decades of civil and military research initiatives and certifications. As an example, over the past 10 years, Thales has been a pioneer and acquired extensive experience in Enhanced Flight Vision Systems (Integration of head-up display and EVS). By achieving system certification and meeting the requirement of the FAA, Thales has demonstrated its strong expertise and know-how in EFVS technologies and is now positioned to privide next generation technology to the business and regional jet markets.

We will invest up to $43 million into R&D for next generation Fly-By-Wire (FBW) Systems. The government of Canada will contribute to the project through a Strategic Aerospace & Defense Initiative (SADI) repayable investment of $12.9 million. The SADI program supports strategic industrial research and pre-comptetive development projects in the aerospace, defense, space and security industries.
