Babcock Canada (Babcock), a Defence and Aerospace company, and Roshel, a leading manufacturer of armoured special purpose vehicles, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to collaboratively explore opportunities to support the Canadian Armed Forces.

For over 16-years, Babcock has been proud to play a critical role supporting Canada’s safety and security. With a focus on mission critical assets, Babcock is trusted to support members of the Canadian Armed Forces from coast-to-coast.

Its vehicles are outfitted with advanced security measures designed to optimize survivability, thereby enhancing their capability to execute missions successfully under adverse conditions.

This Memorandum of Understanding enables both leading Defence companies to leverage their respective capabilities, combining Babcock’s global asset management expertise and Roshel’s vehicle manufacturing experience, to deliver innovative solutions.
