MDA Space has won a 3.7 million Canadian dollar ($2.6 million) contract to deliver a Coalition Shared Database for Canada's Remotely Piloted Aircraft System to General Atomics Aeronautical Systems
49North, MDA's defense-technology subsidiary, said Monday that the contract adds to Canada's broader remotely piloted aircraft system program, under which General Atomics is supplying 11 MQ-9B drones to the Royal Canadian Air Force.
The database will allow Canada to share real-time intelligence with NATO allies while keeping national control over sensitive information.
MDA said that the contract further expands 49North's role as a key Canadian integrator on the project, building on an existing C$74.4 million remotely piloted aircraft system contract.
