Peraton has completed the expansion and modernisation of its Calgary facility to provide broader support for the CF-18 Hornet fighter aircraft fleet in service with the Royal Canadian Air Force.
The upgraded facility covers an area of more than 76,000ft². It will enable the company to focus on the future growth of combat aircraft and related programmes.
Peraton Defence and Electronic Warfare Sector president Gus Bontzos said: “With our proven record of efficiency, having reduced costs for the CF-18 fleet, we are well equipped and ready to scale to support Canada’s future fighter programme.
“We are also proud partners in spurring enterprise development, with 60% of our supplier base in Canada comprised primarily of small to medium-sized businesses.”
The expanded site features a new engineering laboratory used for operational design and development. It serves as a ‘one-stop-shop’ for integrated logistics support.
The Calgary facility aims to offer full lifecycle supply chain management for the largest allocation of government-owned material in the country.
