We are a proud supplier of Avionics Life-cycle Support in the Maritimes, with over 20 years of active participation on various CP-140 support contracts and modernization programs. Geared to improving operational availability of ageing avionics systems, L-3 ES provides life-cycle support and optimized weapon system support for the Canadian Forces’ CP-140 Aurora Maritime Patrol Aircraft fleet and other aircraft. Support is provided from our Halifax facility. A technical staff of over 60 personnel are involved in sustaining the CP-140 mission systems, 13 of which provide on-site engineering and logistics services directly to Canada’s Department of National Defence and other customers as necessary. Weapon Systems Support Brochure Pdf Download Our team has conducted thousands of technical studies and investigations, maintains over 800 technical publications and is responsible for the R&O of 46 mission system weapons replaceable assemblies and 250 subassemblies. This participation has provided us with an intimate knowledge of the CP-140’s avionics architecture, functionality and subsystems. We are currently responsible for “total” life-cycle support of the CP-140 aircraft avionics systems and related ground support systems under the CP-140 Avionics Systems Support Contract, as well as systems engineering for several other major CP-140 modernization projects. With the CP-140 as one of our principal programs, we have invested heavily in establishing our Halifax facility as a centre of excellence for Maritime Aviation support. “Squadron-to-depot” levels of maintenance are offered at the facility and it’s equipped with custom-built Automatic Test Equipment and other advanced technologies, which allow for more efficient and timely maintenance and repairs. We are committed to continuously evolving and developing our resources and tools at the Halifax facility to ensure an optimum level of service to CP-140 modernization programs. For example, to assist in Aurora avionics evaluation and testing, we funded the development of the System Test Facility (STF), a highly versatile test station used on a number of Aurora avionics subsystems. The STF exemplifies our capability in avionics supportability. It has improved equipment availability and reduced both equipment and test program development costs. As the Aurora avionics components become uneconomical to support, we are committed to providing a highly versatile support environment and have expanded our Halifax facility to support future replacements or enhancements of CP-140 avionics subsystems.
