NR 13.365 - December 20, 2013
The Government of Canada, based on the recommendation of the Canadian Armed Forces, has decided not to proceed with the Close Combat Vehicle (CCV) procurement project. Significant capability improvements have served to address a number of force protection concerns that existed when the CCV project was first conceived.
For further information, refer to attached statement from the Chief of Defence Staff and the Commander of the Canadian Army.
