hoW is your organization changing
the game Within your industry sector?
L3Harris in Mirabel has been a long-time leader in the
Aircraft In-Service Support (ISS) sector in Canada, sup-
porting many of the Air Force's major fleets, both at
home and abroad, and we have successfully leveraged
this capability into international contracts, thus creating
more high-value jobs for Canadians. A great example
is our CF-18 ISS contract, where our innovation with
life extension solutions, including robotic modifications
and integrated data environments, and proven perfor-
mance has won contracts with the Australians, Swiss,
Finns and, significantly, the U.S. as a depot for the U.S.
Navy and Marine Corps F/A-18s. This has hopefully
demonstrated to other Canadian-based services com-
panies that it is possible to have success internationally
with the right mix of innovation and execution. L3Har-
ris is also in the process of bringing our advanced and
proven ISS solutions, tools, and processes to the naval
sector to help the Navy leapfrog ahead a generation as
it prepares to recapitalize much of its fleet.
