Calian Group will contract to continue delivering training and support services to the Canadian Department of National Defence and the Canadian Army Simulation Centre (CASC) under an extension announced on 19 November.
The initial term of the contract is valued at $93 million over five years. With two optional extension periods of two years each, the aggregate contract value over the full nine-year period is approximately $170 million.
Under the contract Calian will create realistic and cost-effective synthetic training environments for the CASC, which provides training capabilities in support of land operations and concept development.
Kevin Ford, president and CEO, Calian, said: ‘This contract supports the Canadian armed forces and the customer retention pillar of our four pillar growth framework. For Calian, supporting the operational readiness of the Canadian forces is more than just a commitment – it’s a passion and a privilege.
‘The innovation happening at Calian Training, and with CASC, is very exciting. Calian’s advanced toolset is integrated with those of the Canadian armed forces, demonstrating our focus on continuous process improvement both at Calian and in the work we do with our customers.’
