TSAMTO, May 14. The US State Department has approved a potential supply to Canada under the Foreign Military Sales program of the Aegis multifunctional Weapon Control System (Aegis) and related equipment.

The full cost of the program could be $ 1.7 billion. The U.S. Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) notified Congress of the sale on May 10.

The Government of Canada has requested the United States to purchase 4 Aegis shipboard weapon control systems, one Aegis computer program, four sets of AN/SPY-7 solid-state radar components, four sets of CEC (Cooperative Engagement Capability) automated control systems, and three sets of Mk.41 shipboard vertical launch systems.

The request also includes the Mode-5 / S "friend-to-foe" identification equipment, initial development activities for the Aegis weapon control system variant for the Canadian Navy's next-generation CSC (Canadian Surface Combatant) warship, equipment to support development and testing at US facilities, software; technical documentation, simulators, training services, and other related project support and support elements.

As stated, the implementation of this program is in line with the interests of US foreign policy and national security and will increase the military potential of Canada, which is a US NATO ally.

The notice notes that the sale of the requested equipment will ensure the compatibility of the Canadian Navy's weapons with the US Navy and other allied states. At the same time, the Canadian Navy will not experience difficulties in adopting the new systems.

Lockheed Martin Rotary and Mission Systems was selected as the main contractor for the project. A number of other companies will act as subcontractors for this program. The buyer usually requests the implementation of the compensation agreement in accordance with the current procurement procedure for defense products. Its terms will be determined in the course of further negotiations between the buyer and the contractor (s).

The notice of sale is published in accordance with the requirements of American law. The description and cost of sale reflect the highest estimates based on the initial requirements. The actual purchase price may be lower depending on the final requirements, financial capacity, and signed sales contracts, if any.
