Canadian Patrol Submarine Project
Delivering an all-encompassing, purpose-built, and sovereign sustainment solution that will meet our nation’s economic and defence needs for generations to come.
Submarines are among the world’s most complex engineering assets, and their sustainment requires capabilities that are fundamentally different from shipbuilding.
They Require:
- Specialized engineering disciplines
- Unique platform expertise
- Exceptional project management
- Robust supply chains
The concept of the Victoria In-Service Support Contract (VISSC) was a forward-thinking model at the time of inception and while there were challenges in its implementation across the enterprise, the experience comes with valuable insights and lessons learned.
The Canadian Patrol Submarine Project sustainment solution will be designed to meet the needs of the future Navy. Our hard-earned expertise, trusted supplier relationships, and highly skilled workforce, will enable Canada to further build on an already established foundation, eliminating the risks associated from starting over with an untested in-service support provider.

Delivering a Sovereign Sustainment Solution
Delivering and operating a fleet of this scale demands sustained investment and long-term commitment. Our comprehensive CPSP sustainment solution puts Canadian economic benefits at the forefront.
Babcock’s record on the VISSC demonstrates what our solution can achieve. With the transition from four to twelve submarines, this impact will grow substantially – unlocking even greater opportunities for Canadian industry, workforce development, and economic prosperity.
