For more than three decades, Lockheed Martin Canada has demonstrated its capability and commitment to the Royal Canadian Navy as the Prime Contractor and Combat System Integrator for the HALIFAX Class Frigates.

Awarded in 2008, the HCM contract started with a complete design phase. The company worked in partnership with the navy and shipyards on both east and west coasts to replace major critical sensors, command and control systems, modernize the operations room and deliver a suite of related simulation/training systems.

Modernized ships have returned to the fleet and are now conducting Canada's important missions. Lockheed Martin Canada continues to manage the highly complex and multi-dimensional program through:

• Proven naval combat system integration experience and a vast resource base of expertise
• Direct experience with the deployed combat system
• World-class ship integration experience
• Tight collaboration with the Royal Canadian Navy, shipyards, subcontractors and design agent
• Verified open architecture systems, enabling rapid technology insertion to meet future operational requirements

Our System Integration approach reduces risk and ensures installed performance meets the customer requirement expectations.  Lockheed Martin Canada’s use of an open architecture design is a core solution that adapts to a variety of sub systems for the naval environment.

Our capability includes:

• System Engineering including baseline and performance management
• Sensor and weapon performance modeling and analysis
• Operator, maintenance and support staff integration and training. 
• Ship compartment and top side design including ship services and signatures
• ILS Engineering and delivery management
• Installation management and support
• Integration, Test and Performance Validation including ship trails.  
• Shore based facility design and management.
• Data, Configuration and Publication Management including team communication
