April 27, 2023, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada<\/strong>\u2013The Minister of National Defence, the Honourable Anita Anand, visited IMP Aerospace & Defence\u2019s Halifax facility to announce that the company had received a major subcontract for the Cormorant Mid-Life Upgrade (CMLU) Project.<\/p>\n

The $1.168 billion prime contract was awarded to Leonardo U.K. Ltd. in December 2022. As the principal subcontractor, IMP will upgrade 13 of the existing CH-149 Cormorants, with Leonardo building an additional three aircraft to increase the fleet size to 16.<\/p>\n

This contract has the potential to create and sustain 650 jobs annually for both local industry and companies across Canada.<\/p>\n

IMP Aerospace & Defence has provided all aspects of support to Canada\u2019s fleet of Cormorant Search and Rescue (SAR) CH-149 helicopters for over twenty years. Canada\u2019s CH-149 fleet achieves a higher-flying rate and carries out longer duration Search and Rescue missions to more remote locations than any other EH\/AW101 operator.<\/p>\n

The CMLU project will upgrade the SAR helicopters to the newest standard, including digitally controlled engines with increased power, new glass cockpits, wireless in-cabin communications, and the latest technology available for SAR sensors. These upgrades will quicken SAR missions, resulting in a more-efficient rescue process.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis contract award acknowledges our unique experience with the CH-149 and our vital role in its sustainment both now and into the future. Our partnership with Canada and Leonardo ensures uninterrupted world-leading SAR availability during the CMLU program and the transition to the next-generation Cormorant fleet,\u201d commented David Gossen, President of IMP Aerospace & Defence.<\/p>\n
