Canada has confirmed the procurement of 26 Lockheed Martin HIMARS launchers under a government-to-government Foreign Military Sales agreement finalized in January 2026, with deliveries expected to begin in 2029. The Long-Range Precision Strike (Land) project is estimated at C$2.6 billion, including project management, infrastructure, contracts and contingency.
The package includes a preliminary operational stock of munitions, spare parts, training and support services. Canada says HIMARS was the only solution that met its operational and technical requirements and that the system is not commercially available outside the U.S. Foreign Military Sales framework.
The launcher will be paired with long-range munitions capable of engaging targets at more than 300 kilometres and is intended to support future land-based anti-ship missile capability for the defence of Canada’s coasts, including the Arctic. Lockheed Martin is also committed to integrating Canadian firms into its supply chains and supporting research and development in Canada.
