Canadian Army OverviewMission:

The Canadian Army will posture for concurrent operations by generating combat effective, multi-purpose land forces

to meet Canada’s defence objectives.Vision:

The Canadian Army - as part of the CAF - is a soldier-centric, professional and integrated force achieving operational excellence at home and abroad.

While working alongside “Whole of Government” Colleagues, key allies and partners, the Canadian Army will be a scalable, agile, and responsive force that operates among

populations to deliver decisive land power in the achievement of Canadian defence objectives.Mantra:

Investing in the Canadian Army (CA)Many changes….

14 SSE Initiatives tied to CA equipment projects28 fully funded projects under SSE banner66% of projects to spend capital funds within 2 to 3 year timeframeInitiatives to streamline capital acquisition process and to fill and augment staffing requirementsAdditional allocation of $ for minor capital equipment program$ allocation for innovation (IDEaS)

Canadian Army Major Capital Program (3/3)

CA Minor Capital Equipment Program• Addresses Capability Deficiencies

• Streamlined process• Must be < $5M• Not ancillary to an existing Major Capital Project

• Minor Capital Project – Equipment and Recapitalization• Equipment: annual expenditure of approx $10M• Recapitalization: steady expenditure of approx $40M/year• FY 17/18, 18/19: Surge to approx $75M to address SSE

Requirements Challenges

Human resourcesProject interdependenciesStakeholder engagementsInteroperability requirementsProject complexities and integration requirementsSustainment Business Case Analysis DevelopmentGreening Defence & Cyber Resiliency

15

ConclusionCanadian Army has an ambitious program

Full leadership engagement in seeing this program deliver

Consultation and engagement with industry is crucial
