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.
