On June 4, 2025, Hanwha signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with RaceRocks as part of a strategic collaboration on future Canadian land systems programs. This partnership sets the foundation to develop and deliver next-generation training solutions that will help the Canadian Army field the modern capabilities our government and NATO allies demand.
“When Canadian Armed Forces members are stuck waiting for training, morale drops—and so does retention. Solving this means rethinking how we train. At RaceRocks, we focus on getting recruits mission-ready faster with modern solutions that meet them where they are. With Hanwha, we’re ready to support the Army with scalable, effective training that keeps pace with today’s operational demands”— Craig White, VP Strategy, RaceRocks
This MOU from Hanwha reflects a commitment to strengthening Canada’s defence supply chain by partnering with innovative, homegrown companies. As a woman-led and Indigenous-owned business, RaceRocks represents the vital role that small and medium-sized enterprises play in advancing defence readiness. Through this collaboration, RaceRocks will help deliver modern, mission-ready training solutions that reflect the full potential of Canada’s key industrial capabilities.
“This collaboration reflects a growing recognition that small and Indigenous-owned Canadian businesses have a vital role in shaping the future of defence,” said Anita Pawluk, CEO of RaceRocks. “Aligned with Canada’s Defence Policy Update, it reinforces that restoring readiness, protecting sovereignty, and defending our country depends on innovation at every level of the ecosystem. When agility and vision meet global scale, we don’t just participate—we help define what’s next.”
RaceRocks has been a trusted partner to the Canadian Armed Forces, bringing deep expertise in designing and delivering effective operator and maintainer training. With this foundation, RaceRocks is well-positioned to enhance Canadian Army training.
