Engineering and Defence Since 1984 AMTEK has been providing engineering and technical services to our primary customer the Department of National Defence (DND) of Canada. These contracts span a wide range of professional services in support of equipment and new acquisition projects or initiatives. We have been employing highly qualified engineers, scientists, technologists and a variety of support personnel in the following service streams: • Electronic Warfare (ECM and ESM) • Intruder Detection • Radar and Sonar • Underwater Weapons • Military vehicles such as Armoured Personnel Carriers • Anti Armour Missile Systems • Night Vision Systems • Devices Long Range (NODLR) • Soldier systems such as Clothing, Protective equipment, Binoculars, Night Vision Goggles, Nigh Observation • Aircraft systems such as CF18 test equipment, CP140 systems and Helicopter Systems • Chemical and Biological Detection   The Company's primary focus has been Project Management and Life Cycle Material Management (LCMM) support. We are currently providing numerous consultants in support of DND's LCM Management of highly complex equipment used by the Army, Navy, and Air Force. LCMM embraces all facets of maintenance management acquisition through disposal activities including specific engineering studies into maintenance and reliability problems. Since DND equipment can be in service for 40 years of more, this can be particularly difficult. To put this in perspective imagine you had to make your PC run continuously for the next 20 years, and this is a simple piece of equipment! Prior to equipment being put into service, and assuming the project is of a significant size, DND will normally set up a project office or PMO. AMTEK employees, consultants and associates are currently supporting large PMOs for DND. These include but are not limited to the AIMP, which is a modernization initiative for Canada's Aurora surveillance aircraft, and the Maritime Helicopter replacement project. Additionally, AMTEK is also supporting numerous other PMOs providing project management, IM/IT and logistic support services. We are striving to provide a fully integrated solution for our clients and able to provide enhanced project support services to core activities by aligning Clerical, Translation, Drafting and Illustration services. It is also normal for our informatics group to be called upon to support these activities and contracts. For instance, the set-up of specialized databases, conducting a business review of current IM/IT infrastructure or developing a web enabled client / server applications are all within the scope of our capabilities.
