Terma A/S has partnered with Sperry Marine to deliver the
SCANTER 4603 and SCANTER 6002 series of naval surveil-
lance radar to Seaspan Shipyards for the upcoming Canadian
Coast Guard's Multi-Purpose Icebreaker and Polar Icebreaker
Programs. Sperry Marine, a leader in surveillance radar tech-
nology and Terma A/S, a manufacturer and service provider
of marine navigation systems have partnered to work with
the Canadian Coast Guard to use radar technology designed
for precision situational awareness, safety, and reliability. The
SCANTER series of surveillance radar provides surface sur-
veillance and medium to high-level air coverage. Its design
ensures the detection and tracking of very small targets in
extreme northern environments and harsh Arctic weather
conditions. The vessels, constructed at Seaspan Shipyards in
Vancouver, play a vital role in supporting the Coast Guard's
multiple mission throughout the country, enabling search and
rescue, emergency response as well as sovereignty protection.
"This project is not just about technological advancement, but
also about fostering long-term operational effectiveness and
strategic collaboration. It reinforces our dedication to sup-
porting government partners in delivering secure, innovative
maritime solutions," Colin Ross, Sperry Marine's Naval Sales
Director based in Canada, stated in a press release.
