Artemis stands as a testament to Smith Myers’ commitment to provide cutting-edge solutions that make a positive impact in critical operations,” he added.
Gian Piero Cutillo, managing director of Leonardo Helicopters, emphasized the impact of the CMLU program on providing the RCAF with an advanced, all-weather search and rescue capability.

The collaboration under Team Cormorant includes Leonardo, IMP Aerospace and Defence, GE Canada, and Collins Aerospace Canada.
