A $533-million project to provide a high-tech surveillance and reconnaissance armoured vehicle to the Canadian Army is years behind schedule and plagued with multiple deficiencies, according to documents obtained by this newspaper.On Wednesday, though, National Defence announced that the first five ordered under the Light Armoured Vehicle Reconnaissance Surveillance System project were just now being transported to a Quebec military base in Quebec.
The Conservative government originally announced in November 2014 that it had awarded a contract to General Dynamics Land Systems Canada in London, Ont., to provide the 66 upgraded Light Armoured Vehicles with a new reconnaissance and surveillance system. That will provide a “digital surveillance system that pushes the technology envelope in terms of detection, recognition, and identification.”
In addition, National Defence blamed COVID-19 pandemic-related supply-chain issues for some of the delays.The company declined to comment, referring questions to National Defence. In 2019, before the pandemic, Canadian Army officers were warning that the first vehicles wouldn’t be operational until 2020. That date also came and went.
