Halifax company to upgrade 13 Cormorant helicopters for Canada's military

Delivery of the upgraded helicopters is expected to begin in 2026 after work to improve the aircraft’s internal navigational and communications systems, among other upgrades.

He said the agreement would see his company’s technicians and engineers trained on the helicopter’s latest technology at Leonardo’s facilities in the United Kingdom. “They will bring home that know-how, and they will position us for future work,” he said. Cormorants are currently used to conduct search-and-rescue missions out of Comox, B.C., Gander, N.L., and Greenwood, N.S. The addition of three more helicopters is expected to see the fleet expand to include operations out of Trenton, Ont.

“This is the kind of thing that’s going to support men and women in uniform by making sure they’ve got new and reliable equipment,” he said in an interview from Ottawa. “But it’s also going to ensure that the search and rescue needs that the military may be called in to support are going to be improved.”
