The Cormorant upgrade has the potential to contribute nearly $79-million annually to Canada’s GDP and 650 jobs a year over a 12-year period, Anand says

Canada’s defence minister travelled to Halifax Thursday to tout a major subcontract as part of the $1.2-billion upgrade of the military’s fleet of search-and-rescue helicopters.

“The Cormorant fleet has been serving Canada since 2001 … but it requires upgrades to remain operationally effective,” Anand told a gathering at an IMP hangar near Halifax Stanfield International Airport. “The fleet will be upgraded to the most advanced version of the helicopter.” David Gossen, president of IMP Aerospace, called the subcontract a “strategic win” for his company. “First and foremost, it will create hundreds of jobs, and secondly, it increases our technology base,” Gossen 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.
