The RCAF has launched the ‘next Tactical Aviation Capability Set’ (nTACS) project. The person in charge of nTACS is Lieutenant-Colonel Richard Morris, the RCAF’s Director of Air Requirements for Tactical Aviation.
The MAISR project will be delivered through 2 separate but interrelated procurements. Canada’s Industrial and Technological Benefits Policy applies to both procurements.
The Griffon Limited Life Extension (GLLE) project will extend the life of the Royal Canadian Air Force’s fleet of 85 CH-146 Griffon helicopters to at least 2031. The CH-146 is a proven, durable utility tactical transport helicopter that fills a number of functions.
Canada will require a Future Fighter Lead-in Training to deliver effective fighter education, training and experience that will continue to be relevant to future Canadian Armed Forces operational demands.
The FFCP – Future Fighter Capability Project is acquiring 88 advanced jets, associated equipment and weapons, with set-up of training and sustainment services.
This program will renew aircrew training services to help maintain a multi-purpose and combat capable air force. It will include delivery of pilot training, as well as aircrew training for air combat systems officers and airborne electronic sensor operators.
The Government of Canada is acquiring 16 CC-295s to take over the fixed-wing search and rescue duties undertaken by legacy fleets, CC-115 Buffalo aircraft and CC-130H Hercules aircraft.
This project will extend the estimated life expectancy of the CH-149 Cormorant to at least 2042, address obsolescence issues, and ensure compliance with emerging regulations.
The fleet of 15 Chinooks is already in high demand for operations and exercises. Forward aeromedical evacuation is now a standard part of the training regime.

Through the Medium Support Vehicle System (MSVS) Project, the Government of Canada acquired a new fleet of medium capacity logistics trucks for the CAF.
The current CAF fleets of light (LSVW) and heavy logistics trucks (HLVW and HESV) and their associated equipment are in need of replacement due to their age and decreasing ability to meet operational requirements.
The Land Vehicle Crew Training System project will deliver a training system to enable crews of the principle armoured combat vehicles to train as realistically as possible at their home garrison locations.
