OTTAWA, Oct. 8 (UPI) -- An Integrated computer network defense system for the Canadian Department of National Defense is to be developed and demonstrated by General Dynamics Canada.

The value and length of the contract, issued for a Defense Research and Development Canada (DRDC) project called ARMOUR, were not disclosed.

ARMOUR is to integrate leading-edge network cyber assessment tools to proactively deal with cyber-vulnerabilities and mitigate attacks in real time. The system to be developed will also generate optimized courses of action to combat potential future threats, General Dynamics Canada said.

"Cybersecurity is a growing concern for the governments and militaries of today," says David Ibbetson, vice president, General Dynamics C4 Systems -- International. "Drawing on our experience developing secure defense networks for customers around the world, General Dynamics Canada will demonstrate a solution for protecting DND's networks, helping to safeguard mission-critical information."

General Dynamics Canada is part of General Dynamics C4 Systems.
