Light Forces Enhancement

Project Type

Project New

Objective

LFE will deliver a mobile, light weight, all-terrain vehicle to enhance the mobility of the Canadian Army's Light Forces. This will enable them to function with increased range and response time while reducing overall soldier burden during operations within complex terrain and unique operations environments.

Requirements

This project is expected to deliver between 150 and 300 light vehicles and trailers comprised of tactical mobility platform vehicles designed to rapidly deliver teams of soldiers to combat zones in complex terrain and tactical mobility cargo vehicles focused on the transportation of bulky combat materiel. It is intended that the vehicles will be distributed to both regular and reserve forces.
