Naval Electronic Attack Recapitalization Onboard (NEAR-O)
DELIVERABLE:
HIGH LEVEL MANDATORY REQUIREMENTS:
•
To provide Electronic Counter Measures (ECM) self-defence to
the Halifax Class frigate from target designation and missile lock.
The capability currently resident in the Reprogrammable
Advanced Multimode Shipborne ECM System (RAMSES),
designated the AN/SLQ-503, needs to be upgraded or replaced.
•
The project will provide a capability that is part of ships’ layered
defence doctrine used by NATO nations to enhance
effectiveness in ASM defence . The new system will be
integrated with the Halifax Class CMS and must meet Canadian
Security Establishment protocols. Reliance on the use of tactical
libraries should be limited and be adaptable to rapidly evolving
threats.
•Provide an electronic attack system solution to effectively counter
anti-ship cruise missiles fitted with active seekers as identified in
threat databases;
•Improve survivability of the Halifax Class and its associated naval
task group against anti-ship cruise missiles fitted with active seekers
in all environments, including in the littoral;
•Provide an accurate and enduring solution in a complex and
evolving battlespace with multiple threats;
•Reduce reliance to electronic intelligence databases to be effective;
•Reduce reliance to hardkill systems to ensure survivability of the
Halifax Class; and
•As much as possible, reuse the HALIFAX Class existing system
and sub-systems to end-of-life.

StrongBow
DELIVERABLE:
HIGH LEVEL MANDATORY REQUIREMENTS:
•
To provide tactical radio direction finding and signals collection,
analysis, fusion and exploitation strategic capability to the Halifax
Class frigates.
•
This is a joint Canadian Armed Forces project that will
standardize and replace the current mission-fit of Cryptologic
Direct Support Element equipment suite. The new capability will
provide time-critical, tactically relevant warning of threat
emissions in the Communications Intercept and Electronic
Intelligence spectrums. In addition, it must replace the obsolete
AN/SRD-504. Mast space and weight allocation for the antenna
will not exceed that currently apportioned to AN/SRD-504 on
board Halifax Class frigates.
• Will search, detect, analyze, locate and record SIGINT;
• Will pass information to the ship’s AAW and command teams to
support coordinated analysis, targeting and indications and
warnings of threats, passing info to allies at sea and our national
collection centre, all in a five eyes format.;
• Below deck equipment and configuration will allow for the
concurrent exploitation of signals in the two classification
domains of Top Secret & Below and Secret & Below; and
• Modular design will accommodate through life upgrades of
components as well as transfer Top Secret & Below
interoperability capability from ship to ship without the need to
rewire or make engineering changes to ship structure, HVAC or
power.
