With regards to the Nulka, here is a link to the Lockheed Martin advertising brochure (PDF): https://www.lockheedmartin.com/content/dam/lockheed-martin/rms/documents/electronic-warfare/Nulka-Brochure.pdf Further to that brochure one can read a defense.info article where purported the Nulka has...

Further to this speculation, I note an old WarZone article on the Mk20 EOSS which provides more information on its functionality. https://www.twz.com/30057/u-s-warships-have-this-seldom-discussed-but-very-powerful-optical-targeting-system As to whether Lockheed Martin/BAE is considering this...

Further to this, I note an article in Defence News dated 24-September, which also notes no mention in the infographic of 'Sea Spider" for the River Class destroyer, and further also states no Navy to date has procured the Sea Spider...

A correction to this ... I note in a defence connect article: https://www.defenceconnect.com.au/naval/5449-us-approves-1-5-billion-fms-to-support-ran-s-major-surface-combatants Australia purportedly purchased "six ship sets of ... SQQ-89 Sonobuoy processing equipment for installation on the...

In regards to "LESCUT" (which purportedly is a reactive decoy built by Ultra Electronics Ocean Systems and Rafael of Israel) I note the following reference: https://issuu.com/edrmag/docs/edr_65_-_web/s/17015006 To quote from that reference description of LESCUT: Again - this is all...

A bit more on this topic, where my reference for this post is a much older May-2020 Warzone article: https://www.twz.com/33467/the-shadowy-world-of-submarine-and-ship-launched-torpedo-countermeasures-an-explainer I think it clear from the Canadian government infographic of the River Class...

With regard to the Expendabable Accoustic Countermeasures (EAD) while there are number of different systems, purportedly Ultra Electronics also supply one. https://issuu.com/edrmag/docs/edr_65_-_web/s/17015006 The above source claims:

Torpedo Defence System for the River Class: Sea Sensor & Expendable Acoustic Countermeasures. Sea Spider ??? Note the Canadian government info graphic on the River Class Destroyer lists the "Towed Torpedo Countermeasures - Ultra Electronics SEA SENTOR S21700" and it does not state the Atlas...

The June-2024 infographic on the River class destroyer notes it is planned to have a "USN Cooperative Engagement Capability" (CEC), which I assume means a CEC compatible with that of the US Navy - should the US Navy agree to link up. I read elsewhere that the CEC is noted to be a "real-time...

Some additional information on the General Dynamics 'sonobuoy processing' which is having me lean more and more to speculating that a version of the UYS-505 processor/software could be part of the procurement for the River Class Destroyer. I note that the UK website for General Dynamics has a...

With regard to the "Sonobuoy Processing System (SPS), the defencehub page on the Canadian Surface Combatant notes: A surf on the internet indicated this web page on the General Dynamics web site: https://gdmissionsystems.ca/products/underwater-warfare/sonobuoy-processing/sonobuoy-processor...

Further to this ... I note on the L3 Harris web page, while they note the WESCAM MX-20 are used on warships, it tends to be more for smaller fast attack craft. I speculate that also the case for the MX10MS and MX15MS. The L3 Harris web page goes on to note: "Additionally, the company's MK20...

Possibly relevant, and possibly not, I note that L3 Harris are developing a 'next-generation' multi-functional "Shipboard Panoramic Electro-Optical/Infrared" (SPEIR) system for the US Navy surface ships, to passively detect, track and identify above water threats, and 'cue' self-defense systems...

I tried via google searches (unsuccessfully thus far) to determine which of the L3Harris WESCAM Electro-optical and infrared systems is planned for the River Class Destroyer. I note a WESCAM MX10MS was sold to Thailand navy for Krabi offshore vessels (I think about 10 years ago). There is also...

Further to this, I note that the earlier speculative sketches of the Canadian Surface Combatant, illustrated antenna on the mast for what appeared to match the RAMSES ECM where according to Lockheed Martin advertising brochures, the RAVEN is an update of RAMSES. I just noticed earlier today, in...

I read this thread with interest, and I hope the best for the Canadian navy in its procurement of this new class destroyer, which many of us believe is long over due, and hence we are happy to read about such finally. As for the defencehub recent post post in this thread with the infographic...
