Le 10 septembre, Thales Canada a célébré l'ouverture officielle de sa huitième succursale canadienne à Halifax, en Nouvelle-Écosse. Le bureau accueillera jusqu'à 20 nouveaux employés de Thales qui se consacreront à la Marine royale canadienne, à la Garde côtière canadienne et à nos partenaires et fournisseurs maritimes.
Aujourd'hui, le bureau de Halifax va appuyer le programme AJISS de la Marine royale canadienne, le contrat de soutien en service, complet et à long terme, pour les navires de patrouille extracôtiers et de l'Arctique (NPEA) et les navires de soutien interarmées (NSI) attribué en 2017.
Thales, à titre d'entrepreneur principal du programme AJISS, supervisera le radoub, la réparation et l'entretien de ces navires pendant leur durée de service, et collaborera avec la Marine royale canadienne et les installations de maintenance de la flotte pour assurer la disponibilité opérationnelle des navires à l'endroit et au moment désirés, d'un bout à l'autre du pays.
« Aujourd'hui notre équipe se concentre sur la disponibilité opérationnelle – elle est prête à soutenir le premier navire dans le cadre du programme AJISS. L'ouverture de notre nouvel établissement dans les Maritimes représente une étape importante dans notre programme de soutien en service qui permettra de créer des emplois dans l'industrie maritime partout au Canada », a déclaré Mark Halinaty, président-directeur général de Thales Canada. « À mesure que nous irons de l'avant, nous continuerons de travailler en étroite collaboration avec la Marine royale canadienne, nos clients et nos partenaires, en les aidant à maîtriser chaque moment décisif. »

01/18/2021 | 12:16pm EST NEWS FROM SAAB 18 January 2021 CUE 21-001 Saab Proposes New Saab Sensor Centre in Canada Today at the AIx Space 2021 Conference Saab announced that it has offered to establish a new facility in Canada as part of its offer for Canada's Future Fighter Capability Project (FFCP). This would be known as the Saab Sensor Centre and would be located in Vancouver, British Columbia, with a focus on sensor technologies such as radar. The Saab Sensor Centre would provide career opportunities for Canadian engineering talent in the Vancouver area, as well offering research and development avenues for academia. One of the proposed projects is to develop a Space Surveillance Radar (SSR) in Canada, in co-operation with other companies within the Canadian space industry. It is envisaged that this surface radar will target the global market for greater awareness of objects in the Earth's orbit. "So much of modern life and military capability depends on space- based assets. Today space is anything but empty when it comes to the Earth's immediate vicinity with an increasing number of satellites and many more to come. We feel that Saab teamed with Canadian space partners are the perfect combination to co-develop a SSR for Canada and the global market," said Simon Carroll, President of Saab Canada Inc. A Saab radar demonstrator has been built and is the basis for a co- development opportunity of a SSR with Canadian companies and their world-leading expertise and knowledge. This demonstrator leverages radar technology as found in Saab's military radars that operate across the world including on Canadian and US naval ships. NEWS FROM SAAB Saab, in co-operation with the Swedish government, has offered 88 Gripen E fighter aircraft, for Canada's FFCP. The establishment of the Saab Sensor Centre is part of the associated Canada-wide Industrial and Technological Benefits program from Saab.

© 2018 FrontLine Defence (Vol 15, No 5) The Canadian Surface Combatant program is the largest and most complex procurement to be undertaken by the Canadian Government to date. This program intends to replace the existing Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) frigates (specializing in anti-submarine capabilities and multi-role mission support) and the now-retired destroyers (providing anti-air capabilities) with a fleet of 15 versatile new warships that will be in service to the mid 21st century, if not longer. As outlined in its defence policy, the Government remains committed to replacing the Navy's surface fleet with 15 surface combatants, which will all be built by Irving Shipbuilding as part of the “combatant” portion of the National Shipbuilding Strategy. Although rumours are swirling about the possibility of two variants on a common platform, a DND spokesperson confirms that “the current requirement is that all 15 CSC ships will have the same capabilities: anti-air warfare, anti-submarine warfare, anti-surface warfare, electronic warfare as well as command and control.” The DND email to FrontLine goes on to say that “Funding has been set aside to deliver the full complement of ships the Royal Canadian Navy needs, in order to provide capability across the full range of operations. This will replace both the recently retired Iroquois-class destroyers and the Halifax-class frigates with a single class of ship capable of meeting multiple threats on both the open ocean and the highly complex coastal (littoral) environment.” Full article: https://defence.frontline.online/article/2018/5/10490-CSC-2018-Evaluation-Stage
