Thank you for the question. It is a good question.
There are two elements. There are the platforms themselves—the ship, the steel, if you wish. There are also all the technology components that go on the ship: sensor systems, radar systems, fire control systems, so on and so forth. We have Canadian companies that are internationally well renowned in the quality of their technology and what they can bring. Part of my role is to de-risk the development of those new technologies such that they can be offered for insertion on those platforms when those platforms are built.
New radar technologies are needed to defeat new threats that our adversaries are deploying. We have Canadian companies that are well positioned and that we are helping through contracting with them or our interactions with them—technologies we transferred to them—to be competitive in the procurement process that our colleagues at PSPC are running. Our objective is to help those companies develop the technologies such that they can be successful for insertion.
