German shipbuilding major TKMS and aerospace company Magellan Aerospace Corporation have signed a teaming agreement aimed at strengthening industrial cooperation in support of Canada’s future submarine capabilities.
Under the agreement, the parties will jointly explore, develop and implement cooperation related to heavyweight torpedo production and the subsequent in-service support phase for the Canadian Patrol Submarine Project (CPSP).
The collaboration aims to build sustainable, high-value industrial capabilities in Canada by combining TKMS’s global defense knowledge with Magellan’s experience in complex fabrication, manufacturing, and assembly.
In addition, the parties will investigate other programs with export potential for Magellan, leveraging TKMS’s international customer base and ongoing projects. This cooperation will draw on Magellan’s experience in complex fabrications, design, development, manufacturing and assembly, as program requirements are finalized.
“TKMS and Magellan have built up a long-lasting relationship, as both parties have successfully been developing two sections of the Anti-Torpedo Torpedo that is expected to be introduced to the market in 2029,” said Michael Ozegowski , Executive Vice-President at ATLAS ELEKTRONIK.
“TKMS signed the contract for the design engineering phase of the final assembly facility for the Anti-Torpedo Torpedo at the Rockwood plant. We are looking forward to strengthening our cooperation and collaboration with Magellan, a strategic supplier to Canada and to the defence industry in general.”
“Building on our collaboration with TKMS, Magellan is pleased to expand our partnership in support of the Canadian Patrol Submarine Project,” stated Haydn Martin , Vice President, Business Development, Marketing and Contracts at Magellan Aerospace.
The collaboration underscores TKMS’s continued commitment to working with Canadian industry partners to support the Canadian next-gen submarine project. In line with this, the company signed a series of contracts to support the Canadian Patrol Submarine Project, including agreements with Canadian construction services company EllisDon, Canada’s largest shipbuilding, design, and repair company Seaspan, adn technology company Cohere.
