Calian Group’s shares edged up slightly Wednesday as the Kanata-based firm announced a new deal worth up to $90 million with General Dynamics Missions Systems-Canada – the company’s second major contract win in the past week.
The six-year agreement will see Calian provide IT and technical development services for General Dynamics’ communications and surveillance systems that serve the Canadian Army. It replaces a five-year contract between the companies for similar services that expires this year.
“We are excited to continue our partnership with GDMS-C in support of the Canadian Army,” Calian CEO Kevin Ford said in a statement. “Calian continues to invest in leading-edge technologies and expertise that will support these critical systems when they cannot afford to fail.”

The new contract signing comes less than a week after Calian landed a deal with the Canadian Armed Forces to develop medical training programs. The agreement is worth $17 million over three years, with an option to extend it for an additional year that could push its total value to $23 million.

Calian shares were up three cents to $54.99 early Wednesday afternoon on the Toronto Stock Exchange.
The Kanata firm, which has four divisions that specialize in IT, health-care, training and advanced technology, reported revenues of $179.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024, up from $147.5 million a year earlier.
