Integrated Logistics Support

Damera Defence ensures every retrofit or system integration is backed by a complete sustainment framework — from maintenance planning and training to logistics, diagnostics, and design interface.

Integrated Logistics & Sustainment (ILS)

Ensuring mission readiness through complete lifecycle care

In defence operations, sustainment means more than just maintenance — it’s the complete ecosystem that keeps vehicles operational, effective, and ready for any mission throughout their entire service life.
It ensures that every system, spare part, and trained technician is in place to support continuous operations — from day one in the field to the final day of service.

Core Goals:

Maximise operational availability and mission readiness.

Minimise life-cycle costs (procurement + sustainment).

Ensure maintainability, safety and supportability in intended environments.

Provide the right spares, tools, manuals and trained personnel at the right times/places.

Damera Defence bridges proven commercial electrification experience with defence modernization goals — delivering sustainable, mission-capable fleets that meet both operational and environmental imperatives.

At Damera Defence, we believe readiness doesn’t stop when a vehicle leaves the depot — it’s sustained every day through intelligent logistics, continuous maintenance, and a strong support ecosystem.  Damera Defence ensures that every system — mechanical, electrical, and digital — is supported through its entire operational lifespan.

Trusted Expertise

Our ILS capability is built on the Mississauga Bus Group of Companies (MBGC) foundation — a Canadian network trusted for decades in heavy-duty vehicle maintenance, parts logistics, and systems integration.

Our Integrated Logistics Support (ILS) program combines proven engineering with lifecycle management to reduce downtime, extend fleet life, and make every upgrade sustainable and self-reliant. Backed by Damera Corporation’s transit expertise and MBCT’s ISO-certified maintenance infrastructure, we help governments and defence partners maintain fleets that are dependable, compliant, and cost-effective.

ISO 9001 Certified Quality Management

Authorized repair for Cummins, Allison, and ZF systems

Certified Motor Vehicle Inspection Facility (MTO)

High-voltage safety and EV maintenance readiness

These certifications translate directly into the defence space — ensuring every process meets the same standards of reliability, safety, and traceability demanded by national and NATO-level programs.

Key ILS Elements

Defence readiness depends on more than equipment — it depends on sustainment.
Integrated Logistics Support ensures fleets stay reliable, parts remain available, and crews have the knowledge and resources to keep vehicles operational under any condition.

Maintenance Planning

We develop proactive maintenance strategies that extend fleet life and align with operational tempo.

Define service schedules and task lists for all retrofitted systems (hybrid drives, telematics, power systems).
Create preventative maintenance plans based on diagnostics and reliability data.
Deliver maintenance planning guides as part of ILS documentation packages.

Test & Support Equipment

We define and supply the right diagnostic and calibration tools to keep upgraded vehicles mission-ready.

Specify test systems for powertrains, electrified platforms, and telemetry.
Provide calibration and repair equipment lists tailored to DND, CAF, or OEM standards.
Train technicians to use this equipment safely and effectively.

Spare Parts & Supply Chain Management

Reliable sourcing, stocking, and kitting of components with obsolescence and repair-vs-replace planning.

Our logistics team manages OEM partnerships — including Cummins, Allison, ZF, and ABB — to ensure genuine parts and authorized repair standards.

Define service schedules and task lists for all retrofitted systems (hybrid drives, telematics, power systems).
Create preventative maintenance plans based on diagnostics and reliability data.
Deliver maintenance planning guides as part of ILS documentation packages.

Packaging, Handling, Storage & Transport (PHS&T)

We ensure every component — from sensors to hybrid batteries — is safely stored, transported, and ready for service.

Establish secure handling and storage protocols for sensitive or hazardous materials.
Work with logistics partners to comply with military and transport safety regulations.
Maintain full documentation for traceability and quality control.

Training & Knowledge Transfer

ILS begins and ends with people. Damera Defence develops the skills maintainers and fleet managers need to sustain modernized vehicles confidently.

Depot Technicians: Repair, retrofit, and replace components.
Field Maintainers: Diagnose and fix systems in operational environments.
Fleet Managers: Plan maintenance cycles and interpret telematics data.
Includes high-voltage safety and TÜV-level electrification training adapted from our civilian transit experience.

Diagnostics, Telematics & CBM

We integrate condition-based maintenance (CBM) and telematics solutions to track health data, predict service needs, and optimize fleet performance.

AI-assisted diagnostics reduce downtime.
Remote monitoring enables proactive maintenance.
Reports feed directly into ILS and training documentation.

Sustainability & Lifecycle Cost Reduction

Damera Defence aligns with Canada’s and NATO’s sustainability goals. By combining electrification readiness, predictive maintenance, and efficient logistics, we help defence partners lower lifecycle costs while maintaining operational strength.
