Nice pictures Ted. Where did these "Archived" pictures come from? First time I've seen these. Are these official government photos or are these just AI for your own affect? Are you saying MDA is no longer involved with the Illumination Radar system.... then who is?

Hello, ucuyorum. MDA has been in the Space business for many years now including building satellites and the CANADARM used on most of the Apollo systems and the ISS, RADARSAT programs and satellites. No, they have not built Naval Radars yet but with their expertise, they should be able to...

I take it from your "Humm" emoji reply Ted that you do not want to to discuss anything WRT the CSC design as related to the MDA Illumination radar and the critical radar it must use to keep our sailors safe from harm? 🐎 :poop:

Naval Specialist Ted Barnes seems to feel that there is something "funny" about Canada's CSC Type 26 Frigates abilities to defend itself with a civilian Canadian company's (MDA) requirement to produce a critical Illumination Radar for the CSC as they were contracted to do. If you have something...

Is there anyone out there that has any new information on the MDA Illumination AESA Radar to be fitted on the CSC Type 26 Frigate as of the 13 February? I am only speculating of course but here is what I have. If any forum members can help me out here, that would be great!: "1 x Solid State...

Interesting questions AngelWer. With the more modern AESA S Band 3D Long Range Discrimination Radars in service today, I would say "possibly" but probably would only be able to discriminate the large missile (Hypersonic) once in flight. The modification of a fighter however might only be able to...

So, if I read you correctly Ted, Phase 3 of the Lockheed Martin PDR has essentially been completed with CACI and the CSC Frigate program for Technical Engineering Support? The only things left to do for Phase 4 Implementation to begin is for the Canadian Government to 1. Select Teams; 2. Select...

Hi Nilgiri!! Yes doing well. Just haven't had much to say lately on the CSC Frigate "on-going" saga of government silence with the program. Hopefully the up-dated SSE and PDR will be released sometime this Decade!! Cheers!;)

Hello Ted. As a so called "military expert and Ottawa Citizen reporter, Pugliese's reputation as a "qualified and unbiased reporter" has always been suspect to most informed personnel and his objectiveness is just as bad. I would not put my faith in almost anything that comes out of his mouth or...

The Canadian government will be giving an update before the end of 2023 on more detailed projected costs on the CSC Type 26 Frigate Program. Interesting articles to read for forum members. These can be seen below: https://www.readtheline.ca/p/philippe-lagasse-time-to-worry-about...

Agree totally Nilgiri!:)

Thank you Afif for your in-depth appreciation for the "real" issues surounding this row between Canada and India. The BBC report is quite accurate and hopefully will quell most of the hatred and anger coming from "others" in this forum and let diplomacy take its course to get both conutries back...

I will not respond with another rant. Not the proper thing to do. Let it go gents! "We Have Done So Much, With So Little, For So Long, That Now, We Are Re

I will not respond with another rant. Not the proper thing to do.

Hello to all Forum members. I have deleted all of my responces to the Canadian Hardden Singh Nijjar issue as it seems to have caused angry attitudes with some members that were not intended. Perhaps other will do the same to tone down the responces. The anger expressed by some, seems to have...

I never argue, however I discuss all things Canadian as is my right to do in a free and democratic society such as Canada as you could also do if you were free to do so. Freedom is never free even if you were lucky enough to be born here. I am so appreciative for the rights I have here. Can you...
