With this Major Crown Project the Department of National Defence proposes to equip one DDH class ship, the Annapolis, and the 12 Canadian Patrol Frigates(CPF) with the Canadian Towed Array Sonar System(CANTASS). CANTASS is a passive acoustic device used to detect and track submarine targets. It includes a shipboard electronic subsystem, an interface unit(Array Receiver), a handling and stowage group and a towed array group. An operational simulator and two repair and overhaul facilities have also been procured. Public Works and Government Services Canada, Industry Canada and the Department of National Defence are responsible for this project. 1, record 3, English, - Canadian%20Towed%20Array%20Sonar%20System

SRA Communications showed this electronic display with optical magnification(EDOM) system in mock-up form at the Military Electronics Defence Expo late last year in Wiesbaden. It is intended to provide a head-down display of a range of different information and sensor pictures in the limited space of a military cockpit, using a high-brightness, 1-inch cathode ray tube with a lens to provide the pilot with a virtual image at a distance of between one and two metres from his eyes. 1, record 4, English, - electronic%20display%20with%20optical%20magnification

SRA Communications présentait à l'exposition MEDE la maquette d'un système d'affichage électronique à grossissement optique (Electronic Display with Optical Magnification, ou EDOM), conçu pour présenter en mode "tête basse", dans l'espace limité du poste de pilotage d'un avion militaire, une gamme d'informations et d'images en provenance des capteurs de bord. Mis au point par SRA pour le Service suédois des Matériels de défense et destiné aux futurs avions suédois comme le JAS, l'EDOM utilise un tube cathodique haute brillance, de 1 pouce, associé à une optique de grossissement pour présenter au pilote une image virtuelle à une distance de 1 à 2 mètres. 1, record 4, French, - syst%C3%A8me%20d%27affichage%20%C3%A9lectronique%20%C3%A0%20grossissement%20optique
