Babcock is excited to return to CANSEC 2026, Canada’s largest defence industry event, hosted by the Canadian Association of Defence and Security Industries (CADSI).
At this year’s show, Babcock will highlight its Canadian-built solutions that strengthen defence readiness and sovereignty:
iSupport360™
A Canadian-enabled digital through-life support solution integrating Canadian small and medium-sized (SMB) technologies to deliver real-time insights, improve sustainment, and support faster decision-making. Attendees can experience a live demonstration inside a Cambli BlackWolf Tactical Armoured Vehicle.
Strategic Communications Capability
Backed by 70+ years of global expertise, Babcock is developing a Canadian-built solution for complex, mission-critical communications using its Inspire software and partnerships with Canadian industry. At our booth, attendees can learn more about Babcock’s Strategic Communications capability from both our Canadian and Global experts.
Weapons Handling and Launch System (WHLS)
Developed with Canadian SMB and ITB partner Modest Tree, the Babcock booth will showcase a digital interactive model of the WHLS, a key component on the Victoria-class and KSS-III submarines.
Babcock is dedicated to building a sovereign, innovative, and collaborative Canadian defence ecosystem, preserving Canadian company value, and supporting and securing domestic growth and ownership, while protecting Canada’s interests. We remain committed to championing Canadian SMBs to support opportunities, requirements, and decision-makers across the Department of National Defence, the Canadian Armed Forces, and other partner departments.
Visit Booth 113 to learn how Babcock collaborates with industry partners, to connect high-potential subject matter experts to real operational challenges sooner and more effectively, providing timely access to the best solutions Canada has to offer.
