Under the agreement, Cascade and SNC will propose a solution to support the Department of National Defence (DND) requirement to acquire a Medium Altitude ISR (MAISR) capability. The operational level, multi-sensor MAISR system will be deployable on short notice to provide fully-capable mission support to domestic and international operations.
“We are very pleased to form a strategic teaming agreement with SNC,” said Ben Boehm, executive vice president and COO of Cascade Aerospace. “By combining Cascade’s expertise in modification and maintenance of multi-engine aircraft, with SNC’s pedigree as a world leader in the design and production of ISR systems, our team is uniquely qualified to provide a MAISR solution.” “With years of experience supporting the Department of Defense, Department of Homeland Security and the Canadian Armed Forces, we can provide tailored customer-centric services at all levels, both domestic and internationally,” said Ali Dian, vice president of business development for SNC’s Integrated Mission Systems business area. “This agreement between Sierra Nevada Corporation and Cascade Aerospace complements our offerings as a widely recognized provider of high-quality, multi-mission ISR products and services.” Through this agreement, Cascade Aerospace will perform A-Kit and B-Kit installations, as well as provide full in-service support (ISS) for the platform. SNC will provide the ISR system design, including design of A-Kit and B-kit assemblies. |
