Lockheed Martin Canada is expecting to complete the preliminary design review (PDR) for the country’s next-generation surface combatant in the coming months – marking another milestone for the programme.
Speaking to media at the Euronaval 2022 maritime exhibition in Paris, on 18 October, Glenn Copeland, general manager of Rotary and Mission Systems, Canada, said the company had entered into the PDR phase for the Canadian Surface Combatant (CSC) earlier in 2022 and was planning to complete it by year-end or early 2023.
The PDR milestone will mark the programme’s transition from engineering functional design into the detailed design phase. Under current planning, the critical design review phase will run from 2023 to early 2024 and then transition into the final design review phase, which is expected to complete in 2025.
