German naval shipbuilder TKMS and Magellan Aerospace Corporation have signed a Teaming Agreement to strengthen industrial cooperation in support of Canada’s future submarine capabilities, with a focus on heavyweight torpedo production and in-service support for the Canadian Patrol Submarine Project.

 

Under the agreement, the companies will jointly explore, develop and implement cooperation in these areas, while also examining further programmes with export potential for Magellan based on TKMS’s international customer base and ongoing projects.

“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.”

 

 

The cooperation will draw on Magellan’s experience in complex fabrications, design, development, manufacturing and assembly as programme requirements are finalised, with both parties aiming to build sustainable, high-value industrial capabilities in Canada.

“Building on our collaboration with TKMS, Magellan is pleased to expand our partnership in support of the Canadian Patrol Submarine Project,” said Haydn Martin, Vice President, Business Development, Marketing and Contracts at Magellan Aerospace.

“With six decades of expertise delivering mission critical defence propulsion technologies across air, sea, and space—and proven expertise in propulsion, engineering, and precision manufacturing—this partnership reflects a shared commitment to reliable, innovative undersea capabilities that support Canada’s national security objectives.”
