National Shipbuilding Strategy
Thales is an important part of the National Shipbuilding Strategy as a Tier-1 partner of choice to Seaspan’s Vancouver Shipyard’s, responsible for the selection, procurement and integration of the electronic systems and equipment on the vessels being constructed, in addition to the design, development and installation activities. Thales is the Electronics Systems Integrator for three Offshore Fisheries Science Vessels for the Canadian Coast Guard and two Joint Support Ships and one Offshore Oceanographic Science Vessel for the Royal Canadian Navy.
Platform In-Service Support
The Government of Canada has awarded the In-Service Support (ISS), refit, repair, maintenance and training contract for both Artic and Offshore Patrol Ships (AOPS) and Joint Support Ships (JSS), known as AJISS, to Thales.
