General Dynamics Land Systems-Canada held a virtual ceremony that celebrated the “roll-out” of the Armoured Combat Support Vehicle (ACSV) program’s first vehicle variant — a Troop Cargo Vehicle (TCV) manufactured for the Canadian Army. In August 2019, the Government of Canada awarded General Dynamics Land Systems-Canada a contract to design and produce 360 Armoured Combat Support Vehicles for the Canadian Army. Since then, General Dynamics’ ACSV team has been working to meet tight design and production deadlines, against a backdrop of challenges that comes with manufacturing safely in a global pandemic.
“We are honoured to have Defence Minister Sajjan with us today, virtually, as we showcase the first of eight ACSV variants, the Troop Cargo Vehicle,” said Jason Monahan, Vice President and General Manager of General Dynamics Land Systems-Canada. “Light Armoured Vehicles have protected Canada’s soldiers on missions abroad for over 40 years, and it is a privilege to continue this tradition with the roll-out of this first ACSV variant.”
General Dynamics Land Systems-Canada is a defence industry leader in land and amphibious systems platform solutions. Based in London, Ontario, the Canadian operations employ approximately 1,700 people in the design, manufacture and support of light- and medium-armoured vehicles, and are specialists in machining, materials, electronics, software development, prototyping, logistics support and systems integration.
