NSC Radars for Canadian Navy frigate modernization program
 |
| NSC Radars are delivered to Canadian Navy frigates |
Under the contract, Raytheon Anschütz will install the latest version of its NSC radars on board the frigates. Besides high-performance detection capabilities and advanced anti-clutter function, the radar also features new radiation control and pulse blanker interfaces.
The X-/ and S-Band radars will be integrated into the ship’s new command and control system, the CanACCS 9LV, the navigation distribution system and the Canadian Navy electronic chart system SHINNADS. The Canadian Navy has already gained experience with the navigational radars from Raytheon Anschütz on board of their eight ORCA class training ships.
In addition to the radar installation on board, the contract includes one complete system for a land-based test and support facility at the Canadian Naval Base in Halifax.
Raytheon Anschütz will accompany the whole program with program management according to complex Canadian Navy requirements. This service also includes budget control, system specific documentation, integrated logistic support and extended system integration tests.
