The US Naval Air Warfare Center (NAVAIR), an entity responsible for providing comprehensive air warfare capabilities and lifecycle support for various Navy and Marine Corps aviation assets, will take delivery of the power supply units.
The units will be deployed to power the identification friend or foe (IFF) detection systems on US Navy vessels.
The power control units are designed to perform reliably in extreme conditions, stated CCC.
Viable Power said the units adhere to essential military standards, including MIL-STD-704, which sets the criteria for aircraft power systems and their operational equipment compatibility and efficiency.

By GlobalDataIt further added that its shipboard & naval AC-DC power supply units are also engineered to comply with MIL-STD-1399 standards and their production aligns with IPC-J-STD-001 Class 3 requirements.
Subjected to stringent quality control checks in accordance with IPC-A-610 Class 3, each unit is then put through a battery of electrical and environmental stress evaluations, which encompass vibration and temperature fluctuation tests, stated Viable Power.
CCC said that “its free US DoD Prime Contractor service” allows firms such as Viable Power “to deliver made-in-Canada solutions to the US military”.
The company further added the approach boosts “bilateral defence trade” and “supports Canadian innovation and manufacturing by simplifying the contracting process and ensuring compliance with US procurement standards”.
In January 2025, CCC secured a contract worth $13.3m (C$19m) with the US DoD to supply the Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division with QinetiQ’s Vindicator Uncrewed Aerial Vehicle (UAV) – target and associated services.
