Briefing
Adds domestic production of military unmanned aerial systems in Mirabel, creating a "made‑in‑Canada" supply line intended to meet Canadian Armed Forces and allied requirements.
The announcement comes as Ottawa is pressing for larger Canadian industrial benefits in major defence buys and weighing procurement changes, reinforcing a broader push to convert procurement into domestic industrial capacity (Canada warns it may cut 88‑jet F‑35 buy, presses Lockheed for bigger industrial benefits).
Strengthens NATO‑aligned industrial options at a moment when the Alliance is streamlining commercial engagement, improving pathways for allied adoption and partnership on commercially developed capabilities (NATO creates single 'front door' to streamline engagement with commercial space startups).
