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 13, English, - Canadian%20Towed%20Array%20Sonar%20System
