Phase 2 Contract Awarded for Uncrewed Aircraft Systems
On July 7, 2025, the Government of Canada awarded two contracts for a total value of $169,187,671.90 to CACI, Inc. – FEDERAL as part of the second phase of the Counter Uncrewed Aircraft System (CUAS) Urgent Operational Requirement. This is a critical new capability to support Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) members deployed on Operation REASSURANCE.
This contract includes the integration and mounting of the CUAS onto a new light armoured tactical vehicle platform, as well as in-service support for the systems for up to 10 years.
As the international security environment changes, the Government of Canada is continually working to equip CAF personnel with the capabilities they need to protect Canada and its national interests. The CUAS capability will provide CAF members with improved protection against smaller hostile uncrewed aircraft systems through detection, identification, tracking, and degradation and defeat using integrated vehicles with sensors and effectors.The CUAS capability will provide CAF members with improved protection against smaller hostile uncrewed aircraft systems through detection, identification, tracking, and degradation and defeat using integrated vehicles with sensors and effectors.
