L3Harris Canada's Mirabel operation provides aircraft engineering, structural modification, avionics upgrades and mission-system integration. Its fighter-centre account links those services to CF-18 life extension and other Canadian fleet work. The 2024 F-35 depot strategic-partner selection is a separate future-support position, not evidence that a Canadian F-35 depot is already fully operational.
