The contract, awarded by the U.S. Department of Defence to the Canadian Commercial Corporation (CCC), is valued in the single-digit millions of euros. Delivery is scheduled for between the end of 2026 and the end of 2028.<\/p>\n<p>The MSU-200NAV is used by the U.S. Navy to start aircraft engines both on land and on board ships. Rheinmetall Canada will supply spare parts for two key components: the starter, which initiates turbine operation, and the Full Authority Digital Engine Control (FADEC) system. The latter controls the turbine\u2019s power output, sequence control and safety.<\/p>\n<p>Designed for reliability, efficiency, and long-term availability, the MSU features a proven turbine-based design, making it suitable for worldwide deployment. It has proven itself under a wide variety of climatic conditions and is characterised by its ease of operation and maintenance.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to its compact dimensions and low weight, the MSU can also be airlifted to forward operating bases. It thus provides armed forces with a flexible solution for mobile aircraft ground support.<\/p>\n<p>Rheinmetall has extensive technical expertise in aircraft ground support and a proven track record of providing reliable solutions to the U.S. Armed Forces and its allies, as well as civilian customers.<\/p>\n<p>Rheinmetall Canada carries out the development, modernisation and maintenance of the MSUs from its site in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Quebec. This helps to ensure the long-term availability of this vital aircraft ground support capability.<\/p>\n<p>The Canadian Commercial Corporation enables Canadian companies to supply &#8216;Made in Canada&#8217; solutions to the U.S. Armed Forces. This contract highlights Rheinmetall\u2019s role as a reliable defence sector partner while strengthening the creation of Canadian industrial value in critical ground support technologies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Rheinmetall AG \u00a9 Rheinmetall Canada is supplying the U.S. Navy with spare parts for MSU-200NAV air start units.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":9001,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[14],"class_list":["post-9000","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-news","tag-defence-industry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/defence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9000","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/defence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/defence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/defence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/defence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9000"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/defence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9000\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/defence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9001"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/defence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9000"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/defence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9000"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/defence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9000"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
