Canada's Multi-Mission Aircraft Team
The Ideal Canadian Multi-Mission and Anti-Submarine Warfare Aircraft
Bombardier Defense & General Dynamics Mission Systems–Canada Join Forces to Deliver a Made-in-Canada Solution
To deliver the next-generation of multi-mission and anti-submarine warfare aircraft that is the right solution for the Canadian Multi-Mission Aircraft (CMMA) program, Bombardier Defense is partnering with General Dynamics Mission Systems–Canada. Leveraging their combined extensive expertise, these Canadian-based companies are joining forces as Canada’s Multi-Mission Aircraft Team.
The solution offered is based on the Global 6500 aircraft, the right-sized jet for the CMMA with next-generation engines, long-range, high endurance, and coupled with proven reliability and superior fuel efficiency as documented in the jet’s recently published Environmental Product Declaration. The aircraft will play home to General Dynamics’ best-in-class integrated mission systems, drawing directly from experience developing and delivering the newly modernized CP140 Block IV and CH-148 Cyclone.
A truly innovative and flexible Canadian solution, that understands the reality of Canada, is the right choice for CMMA.
