Defence procurement velocity — four-point dossier

Instruments, partners, preferred suppliers, and one named helicopter contract. Machine network and mermaid maps filed for verification.

This dossier freezes the four-point defence procurement velocity cluster as a public-record map: Arctic OTHR partner path, Canadian Patrol Submarine preferred supplier, AEWC preferred supplier discussions, and Griffon GLLE contract W8475-205391/001/BF.

Dollar classes and dates are taken from government releases and the Defence Capabilities Blueprint. Pause language on GLLE remains reporting-class until a stop-work instrument is public. Preferred supplier status is not treated as a signed multi-year production award.
