Cost-effective and forward-looking, the Vigilance Flight I variant will enable the fulfillment of critical missions such as intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, subsea infrastructure protection, mine countermeasures, resource conservation and maritime interdiction operations in the decades ahead. With sensor and weapons enhancements, the Vigilance Flight II variant will be able to perform all the roles of the existing Maritime Coastal Defence Vessels (MCDVs), while also fulfilling crucial naval warfare duties beyond the capabilities of both the MCDV and the Arctic and Offshore Patrol Vessels.   Partners: Vard Marine Inc | Ontario Shipyards | Thales Canada | SH Defence | FINCANTIERI   For more information, please visit: teamvigilance.com #TeamVigilance #OntarioMade #shipdesign #shipbuilding #DEFSECAtlantic #Canada #naval #royalcanadiannavy
