Air Monitoring System (AMS) Unit Design, Integration, and Manufacturing

The contract entails the design customization, manufacturing, testing, and qualification of two Air Monitoring Systems—one for the Fire Alarm System and one for the Fire Observation System—built on proven submarine Commercial Off-The-Shelf platforms to ensure rapid integration and operational reliability. These systems are specifically tailored for installation aboard Victoria-class submarines, requiring precise engineering to meet stringent naval environmental, safety, and performance standards. The work involves full lifecycle support from initial design through final qualification, ensuring compatibility with existing submarine systems and adherence to military-grade robustness under extreme conditions. The project is issued under the Department of National Defence as a subcontract opportunity with a North American Industry Classification System code of 334511, indicating focus on electronic manufacturing. Performance is expected to occur in Victoria and Halifax, aligning with Canada’s naval industrial base. The tender was posted on June 8, 2026, with a submission deadline of July 31, 2026, providing potential contractors a five-week window to respond. The initiative supports the modernization and operational readiness of Canada’s submarine fleet through the delivery of mission-critical air monitoring capabilities designed for long-term deployability and maintenance in confined underwater environments.
