General Dynamics Land Systems–Canada will showcase its plans to fulfill the Government of Canada’s Logistics Vehicle Modernization program, as well as innovative modernization solutions for the LAV 6.0 that ensure that the Canadian Armed Forces stay ready to face any future challenge.

  • Logistic Vehicle Modernization (LVM) Solutions
    • The Power Team’s LVM solutions show complete capability, including the Zetros Daimler light truck baseline, the light trailer and a representative pod. With one common chassis that has over 90% commonality across all variants, the solution is a powerful and versatile platform designed to provide the Canadian Armed Forces with reliability, durability and ruggedness under the most adverse climate and operational conditions.
  • Light Armoured Vehicle (LAV) 6.0 Technology Demonstrator
    • The result of world-class Canadian innovation, the LAV 6.0 remains the highly capable and protected baseline vehicle that is the backbone of the Canadian Army’s combat vehicle fleet. It is the platform on which General Dynamics continues to build to meet the changing capability needs and requirements of customers. This demonstrator showcases a variety of future capabilities integrated in a modular fashion, into the LAV 6.0 platform. Responding to the Canadian Army’s need to digitize, it includes a foundational digital architecture with scalable and modular hardware and software for next-generation capabilities, all with embedded cyber resilience.

General Dynamics Mission Systems–Canada – Booth 1601 and 3034 outside

General Dynamics Mission Systems–Canada is advancing digitalization to meet the most demanding operational requirements on any platform – across air, land, sea, cyber, and space. The General Dynamics booth will highlight the following solutions:

  • DIGITALspine demonstration
    • DIGITALspine seamlessly integrates industry-leading services such as video, chat, radio, sensors, and radars across various platforms, including vehicles, UAVs, and dismounted soldiers. The integrated digital ecosystem enables secure connectivity with joint, interagency, multinational, and public partners, facilitating efficient and effective military operations worldwide. During the demonstration, General Dynamics will display its ability to rapidly integrate innovative technologies into operational systems. The presentation will focus on a fires mission scenario, demonstrating how the integration of command and control (C2) and intelligence tools streamlines the intelligence effort, reduces time to target identification, and enhances mission success.
      • Industry collaborators joining this demonstration: AWS, Base Camp Connect, EnerStar, Lemay.ai, Mawashi, Palantir, Persistent Systems, SimFront/Calian, Systematic, TactiQL, Vidterra, Weatherhaven, and Ultra.
  • MESHnet®
    • A modern suite of robust and secure networking solutions enabling fleet-wide communication and data exchange. Its flexible architecture and advanced encryption ensure reliable connectivity and situational awareness in the most challenging operational environments. MESHnet® empowers decision-making at every level, ensuring the right information gets to the right person, at the right time.
  • Distributed Sonobuoy Acoustics Processing Suite
    • Using advanced sonar processing and compression techniques, the Distributed UYS-506 Sonobuoy Processor optimizes the bandwidth required to transmit high-fidelity data from crewed and uncrewed aircraft to the ground station without compromising system performance.
  • Airborne Mission Management
    • Best-in-class integrated mission systems for fixed and rotary-wing aircraft and uncrewed aerial vehicles, simplifying the complexity of airborne intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance processes for surface and sub-surface maritime surveillance–along with overland and littoral surveillance operations.
  • Shipborne Integrated Sonar Suite
    • Incorporates towed array and hull-mounted sonars, sonobuoys, dedicated intercept sensors, and more for maritime surveillance operations.
  • LX300 Remotely Piloted Helicopter
    • Supporting the needs of Canadians from coast-to-coast-to-coast, the LX300 RPAS is an advanced made-in-Canada solution that is capable of carrying either 200kg of cargo or suite of ISR/ASW mission kit. Come see it on static display outside at stand 3034.
  • The Vetronics team will be showcasing its advanced suite of tactical displays which offer high-resolution feeds from any sensor or camera with low latency to enable more efficient decision-making, driving, targeting, and stabilization in near real time.
  • Secure Network, Data and Voice Products: General Dynamics Mission Systems’ secure voice, data protection and information sharing solutions support our customers’ critical missions to help them to navigate the cyber ecosystem.
    • TACLANE® High Assurance encryption solutions are interoperable, CSE, AFU, and NSA certified, providing widely deployed classified voice and data protection for national security systems, information, and networks at the highest levels.
