CCC has been awarded a contract by the United States Department of War (US DoW) to deliver replacement components for Rheinmetall Canada’s MSU‑200NAV, which is used by the US Navy and Marine Corps to start aircraft engines while on the ground.

Through CCC’s contract, Rheinmetall Canada will provide the Naval Air Warfare Center with replacements for two key components of the MSU‑200NAV – the starter, which initiates the turbine operation, and the Full Authority Digital Engine Control (FADEC), which manages the turbine performance, sequencing, and safety.

Rheinmetall provides advanced, dependable solutions to US and allied defence customers.

Based in Ottawa, the company has supported the development, modernization, and sustainment of the MSU‑200NAV for more than two decades, ensuring this critical capability continues to meet the demanding aircraft ground support requirements of its international customers.

CCC is the designated contracting authority for purchases by the US DOW from Canada worth USD $350,000 or more.

Through its free US DoD Prime Contractor service, CCC enables companies like Rheinmetall Canada to deliver made-in-Canada solutions to the US DOW.
