Since 2008, Thales has been delivering the LCSS to the Canadian Armed Forces, enabling commanders to master each of their decisive moments using real-time battlefield information, evaluate intelli- gence and share a common operating pic- ture. LCSS is critical to the success that today's dynamic, complex and dangerous operations demand. LCSS has provided more than 1,000 person-years and contributed more than 350 jobs to Canada's knowledge econo- my. In addition, more than 25 subcon- tractors work on the program, many of them small- and medium-sized enter- prises. Skilled engineers support the de- sign, development and evolution of the system and support world-class solutions to meet the evolving operational capabili- ties required by the Canadian Army.
