"Actively Pursuing" Exports to Israel
The fact that all of the above companies are "actively pursuing" the export of their products and/or services to Israel is confirmed in Industry Canada's "Canadian Company Capabilities" (CCC) database. Information in this database is entered and updated by the companies themselves. Each of the above companies report that they "actively pursuing" exports to Israel under the CCC database category, "Geographic Markets."

Summary of Main Military Products and/or Services
These descriptions of the main military products and/or services provided by these companies summarise data found in a variety of sources, primarily from the industries themselves, their websites and/or various corporate and government databases promoting their work.

Company Facts
This general information about the company is from Industry Canada's "Canadian Company Capabilities" (CCC) database. This Canadian government database is maintained and updated by the companies themselves.

CADSI Membership
None of the companies above are current members of the Canadian Association of Defence and Security Industries (CADSI). This is based on data from the "CADSI Member Profiles Database" (accessed in early February, 2009).

Past CADSI membership is based on archived listings in the CADSI Member Profiles Database (2006, 2007, 2008, 2009), as well as membership listings for CADSI's predecessor organisation, the "Canadian Defence Industries Association" (2000, 2001, 2002, 2003). CADSI member listings for the years 2004 and 2005, as well as the pre-2000 CDIA lists are seemingly unavailable online. It is therefore possible that some of the above companies were members of CADSI / CDIA during those years for which data is publicly unavailable.

Notes:

Israeli "law enforcement"
* The Atlantic Nuclear Services (ANS) Technologies website reports that it is pursuing exports to Israel related to "law enforcement":
"ANS Technologies and Israeli Aircraft Industries (IAI) - Malat division are working to establish non-military technologies for commercial application of Unmanned Airborne Vehicles (UAV). The surveillance and long endurance capabilities, as well as the low cost make the UAV system a safe and cost effective alternative to manned aircraft." The applications they mention include: "Law Enforcement"
