CAMSC brings together expertise across Canada’s maritime ecosystem to help strengthen defence readiness, accelerate sovereign capability and create new opportunities for our Atlantic marine and defence sectors as Canada invests in the next generation of Arctic and maritime security.”

“Memorial University’s Marine Institute is proud to be a founding member of the Canadian Arctic Maritime Security Consortium,” said Dr. Janet Morrison, President & Vice Chancellor, Memorial University Newfoundland. “Through our unique capabilities in marine education, applied research, operational testing and Arctic training, we look forward to working with our partners to develop the skilled people, technologies and operational solutions needed to support Canada’s evolving maritime and defence priorities.”
Article content
The consortium is designed to accelerate the transition of Canadian-led capabilities into defence and security programs that support Arctic operations, maritime surveillance, autonomous systems, workforce development, industrial and technological benefits (ITBs), and next-generation defence capabilities. Together, the partners will pursue opportunities spanning Arctic domain awareness, operational training, digital engineering, secure communications and sovereign capability development, helping position Atlantic Canada as a leader in Canada’s next generation of Arctic and maritime security. A key early initiative is the development of a Canadian Centre of Excellence for Maritime and Arctic Training, bringing together advanced simulation, operational training, applied research and digital technologies to prepare Canada’s future Arctic workforce while supporting the evolving needs of the Canadian Armed Forces, the Canadian Coast Guard and Canada’s marine industries.
