Kongsberg Geospatial continues to support the Canadian Armed Forces across land, air, and sea through contributions to key national defense programs.
The company is contributing to the National Shipbuilding Strategy, providing propulsion, steering, stabilizers, and Replenishment at Sea systems for the Royal Canadian Navy’s future River-class destroyers. These vessels will be equipped with the Naval Strike Missile, which is described as NATO’s preferred precision strike weapon.
The AEGIS Combat Management System operator interface for both crewed and uncrewed naval operations is powered by Kongsberg Geospatial’s TerraLens SDK. Kongsberg’s presence extends to the Canadian Army, with over 500 PROTECTOR Remote Weapon Stations already delivered.
The company is also prepared to supply the Royal Canadian Air Force with the Joint Strike Missile for its F-35A fleet, noting it is the only missile that fits the aircraft’s internal weapons bay. Additionally, the Canadian Coast Guard’s Arctic Offshore Patrol Ships are supported with steering gear, propulsion, sonar, and seabed mapping systems.
Jordan Freed, President and Managing Director of Kongsberg Geospatial, commented, “Kongsberg’s Canadian businesses remain independent, but we are aligned in providing a comprehensive strategy with a common voice to the Canadian Armed Forces and the Government of Canada. Together, we bring global expertise and Canadian innovation to the table.
“With Canada’s deep ties to Norway, another Arctic nation and founding member of NATO, Kongsberg is proud to stand with Canada in defending its sovereignty. For the next 50 years, we will continue to grow our presence here, combining proven Norwegian technology with made-in-Canada solutions, sustained and supported locally.”
