OTTAWA, ON, Oct. 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Canadian Commercial Corporation (CCC) is pleased to announce that General Dynamics Mission Systems–Canada has been awarded a $24 million contract to help the Portuguese Air Force modernize its fleet of P-3C aircraft to support maritime patrol and reconnaissance activities.

This was achieved through a government-to-government (G2G) contract between CCC and the Portuguese Air Force. G2G contracts are part of CCC's international prime contractor service, which matches qualified Canadian companies with foreign government buyers.

General Dynamics will provide equipment and technology to improve mission communications and electronics. Portugal's P3-C fleet upgrades are based on modernizations that General Dynamics provides to the Royal Canadian Air Force. The Mission Management System offered to Portugal now comprises more than 50 installations worldwide, both on maritime patrol aircraft and maritime patrol helicopters.

Portugal is a member of NATO. The upgrades will allow the Portuguese Air Force, as a member of NATO, to maintain the necessary capabilities to contribute to new and existing NATO activities. In addition to maritime patrol and reconnaissance activities, the Portuguese Air Force also provides air policing, airlift, search and rescue, and medical evacuation services.
