Report Highlights

Over the forecast period 17% of the country‘s total defense budget is projected to be average capital expenditure, which includes the purchase of new equipment and reviving existing fleets. The rest of the budget will be allocated to revenue expenditure, which includes the salaries of armed personnel, planning, administration, and training expenditure.

The capital expenditure budget for the country‘s military base will be utilized for the procurement of advanced fighters and multi-role aircraft, such as F-35 Lightning II, and the upgrade of transport aircraft and armored personnel vehicles. Canada‘s Navy, which has not undergone any modernization activity since 2005, plans to replace its supply ships and frigates; with plans to acquire new offshore patrol vehicles. Other key procurements are expected to be witnessed in areas such as search and rescue (SAR) aircraft, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), radars, and surveillance and monitoring equipment.

Canadian defense imports peaked in 2011, owing to the receipt of trainer and transport aircraft as well as radar. The majority of imports between 2009 and 2013 consisted of aircraft, missiles, armored vehicles, and artillery; with the US being Canada‘s largest supplier of arms. The country‘s planned procurements of advanced armory are expected to increase imports over the coming years.
