Efficient, reliable and adaptable logistics to sustain military operations
See the five public problem areas NATO is asking industry and innovation teams to work against, then compare Canadian technologies without mistaking alignment for eligibility or endorsement.
Keep forces supplied, mobile, and ready when infrastructure, transport routes, and supply chains are contested, degraded, or stretched across extreme environments.
Source-backed fact
What success looks like
Multinational forces can resupply and sustain operations cost-effectively through austere conditions with more durable, mobile, scalable, and interoperable support.

Organizations with technology that may be relevant
Each connection pairs the organization-specific reason it may be relevant with the public evidence that supports it.
Calian offers build-to-print and custom engineering for defence electronics, vehicle harnesses, vetronics, RF/GNSS antennas and circuit cards. Its production chain combines surface-mount and legacy through-hole assembly with optical/X-ray inspection, qualification testing and system integration. Configuration control, component obsolescence management and repair services extend the engagement beyond a first production order.
Reviewed connection
Calian can take mission-critical electronics and integrated hardware from engineering through Canadian production, test, and lifecycle support. That reduces supply-chain exposure and helps programs adapt equipment without losing continuity of support.
Calian describes Canadian engineering, manufacturing, integration, testing, and lifecycle support for defence electronics, communications, RF, space technologies, assemblies, harnesses, circuit cards, vetronics, radar, and composites.
RemoteSpark connects frontline personnel to remote expertise and technical content across headsets, computers and mobile devices. The July 2026 release expands Android smart-glasses support, browser participation, session recording and centralized deployment. The current platform also offers live annotations and access to shared documents and 3D content.
Reviewed connection
RemoteSpark puts remote expertise and technical information in a frontline worker's field of view, even across constrained bandwidth. That can reduce travel, shorten repair cycles, and keep distributed equipment and teams working.
Kognitiv Spark describes RemoteSpark as a secure hands-free augmented-reality platform that connects frontline workers to remote experts and critical information regardless of location, bandwidth, or conditions.
SSi designs and operates remote communications networks using satellite, microwave and fibre backbones with local broadband and wireless access. Its offer spans site and radio planning, licensing, integration, provisioning software and community-agent training, backed by a continuously staffed Ottawa network operations centre. CRTC’s June 2025 decision documents a funded Nunavut satellite-capacity project, with performance and reporting conditions rather than proof of completion.
Reviewed connection
SSi Canada designs, builds, operates, and supports communications networks where distance and sparse infrastructure make connectivity difficult. Those networks can keep remote teams, logistics nodes, and support services connected across northern operations.
SSi describes more than thirty years of designing, building, and operating satellite, broadband, mobile-wireless, backbone, and last-mile solutions for remote areas in Canada's North.
Mirabel integrates rotorcraft design, composite manufacture, assembly, flight test, customization and delivery, with Calgary providing spares distribution and government military inventory management. Bell’s named commercial production includes 505, 407GXi, 429 and SUBARU Bell 412EPX, each with distinct current cockpit and propulsion architecture. CCG confirms historical Canadian-built fleet delivery; PSPC records the separate CH-146 ISS work package through 2039. The upgraded Griffon’s June 2024 first flight remains a test milestone before the June 2026 reported GLLE reassessment. Aircraft performance and optional mission equipment must be evaluated under the applicable approved flight manual.
Reviewed connection
Bell's Mirabel operation keeps rotorcraft design, production, certification, modernization, and long-term fleet support connected in Canada. That industrial depth can help sustain aviation mobility and readiness over long operating cycles.
Bell describes its Mirabel operation as an integrated Canadian centre for helicopter design, manufacturing, delivery, flight support, and long-term Canadian Armed Forces fleet sustainment.
StandardAero provides T56 and 501-D engine, module and component overhaul, testing and fleet services, with related propeller, nacelle and quick-engine-change work. Winnipeg is part of its documented T56 industrial network. In August 2026 the company announced a position on a ten-year US Air Force T56 depot contract with a $342.2 million ceiling; the release does not allocate Canadian workshare or establish committed revenue.
Reviewed connection
StandardAero overhauls, tests, repairs, models, and manages T56 and 501-D propulsion fleets from Winnipeg. That can increase time on wing, reduce unplanned maintenance, and keep C-130 and CP-140 aircraft available.
StandardAero describes Winnipeg-based T56 and 501-D overhaul, component repair, testing, engineering, fleet-management, and propulsion-system support for Canadian and allied military operators.

An empty result means the research is incomplete, not that Canada lacks relevant technology.
Public statements do not establish procurement timing, budgets, eligibility, or endorsement.
