[Satellite TODAY 04-26-13] MacDonald, Dettwiler and Associates (MDA) has signed CA$3.2 million worth of contracts with the Government of Canada’s Department of National Defense (DND) to provide operations for the east and west coast Radarsat-2 ground systems. These ground systems support the deliverables under the Polar Epsilon project, the broad-area surveillance system delivered by MDA to DND last year.

 

    In 2012 Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC), on behalf of DND, awarded a one-year contract for operational support that included renewal options for an additional four years, the first of which was recently exercised. MDA will be providing operational support under this contract until March 2014.
