• The new Canadian Surface Combatant is based on the BAE Systems Type 26 Global Combat Ship. The ship’s design is customized to meet the Royal Canadian Navy’s requirements and to incorporate Canadian systems and equipment. It will be globally deployable and capable of supporting and protecting the men and women of the Royal Canadian Navy as they fulfill their wide range of missions around the world, for the next 40+ years. It will offer:
    • Multi-role missions: From humanitarian assistance to high intensity conflict including anti-submarine warfare and air defence in the hottest or coldest of temperatures, it will capably support any mission.
    • Maximum ship survivability.
    • While other ships in this class are 10-15 years old, the Global Combat Ship is the most modern design and its margins allow for growth or future modernization. It is designed for 2020 and beyond, closely matching Canada’s requirements, only requiring 10% change, with a digital and modern toolset that minimizes design transition risk.
    • Full interoperability with 5-eyes and NATO nations.

 

  • The Canadian Surface Combatant features:
    • Canada’s trusted combat management system, the CMS 330, developed in Canada by Canadians based on 30+ years’ experience and knowledge of Canadian and NATO naval operations
    • 100% Canadian designed mission bay handling system
    • A modular and scalable solid state radar, the SPY-7, that allows for continuous surveillance and protection and supports next generation air and missile defence technology
    • World-leading acoustic performance with an extremely low acoustic signature
