Thales Canada, DEW team on TAPV Bushmaster

Thales Canada kicked off this year’s on-site announcements with the signing of an exclusive teaming agreement with DEW Engineering and Development that will see the Ottawa-based company assemble Thales’ Bushmaster should the vehicle be selected for the TAPV (tactical armoured patrol vehicle) program. Almost 700 Bushmasters are in service with forces in Australia, the Netherlands and other NATO allies.

Thales CEO Paul Kahn and DEW president Tim Dear delivered the news in front of a Bushmaster.
