World-Leading Situational Awareness
and Management Solutions
As a prime supplier and systems integrator, Thales Canada provides local expertise to address the needs
of Canada’s forces. From advanced integrated multi-sensor systems and instrument landing systems to
tactical control and maritime search radar for our air force and navy, Thales’ solutions are best-in-class.
Advanced Integrated Multi-Sensor
System (AIMS)
Thales Canada was selected by DND to develop the AIMS
system for Search and Rescue, maritime and tactical
surveillance. AIMS is a fully integrated, stabilized multisensor system that improves the capability to conduct
diverse missions around the clock and in adverse weather
conditions. Optimizing the detection and identification of
even small objects improves effectiveness and reduces
search time. The easy-to-use and operate AIMS platform
integrates next generation night vision technology into a
fieldable system that can be modified for different aircraft
or different sensor turrets. AIMS is portable and can be
delivered rapidly.
We integrated electro-optics and radar sensor
technology with an Automatic Identification System (AIS)
and mission management software and packaged it into
a single or dual-console Operator Station. The Operator
Station can be integrated with a wide range of electrooptic turrets according to customer requirements.
Instrument Landing System
Thales’ world leading ILS 420 system has been selected by
DND to upgrade its existing ILS systems at air force bases
domestically, assuring the continued safety of air operations.
Thales has 35 years of continuous ILS development
with the successful deployment of more than 3500
ILS systems in over 150 countries, the most of any
company in the world.
State of the art design delivers:
• Versatility
• Full compliance with ICAO’s latest performance
standards to CAT III requirements
• Enhanced Integrity and Safety
– Highest reliability
– Built-in automatic integrity test
– Triple redundant shutdown paths
• Low Life Cycle Cost
• Comprehensive Maintenance Support to DND
• Low cost of ownership
– Minimum sparing; common modules between
Glide Path and Localizer
– Very low MTTR; plug-in modules
– Industry Standard parts
– Advanced redundant power supply
Air Traffic Management
Tactical Control Radar (TCR)
The Thales STAR 2000 Air Traffic Management radar is
the world’s leading radar for ensuring the security of airfield
operations. Perfectly suited to DND’s needs for its radar
replacement program, the STAR 2000 features exceptional
proven reliability and availability and the capability to operate
in complex environments. An extensive customer support
network ensures that DND receives responsive tailored
support for decades to come.
• Operational in over 50 countries
• Compatible with wind farm operations
• Fault tolerant solid-state transmitter with 8
or 16 power modules
• Power modules equipped with individual
& independent cooling
• Digital frequency selection per 1 MHz step
• Digital Phase-Amplitude Detection receiver
• Advanced Signal Processing Algorithms
• Runs on COTS PC Linux
• On-line system performance monitoring
• Transmitter power-on maintenance with
on-line replaceable modules
Our recent success as TCR Prime is focusing the Thales
Canada team to bring together disparate systems into
a cohesive and fully integrated system. Our innovative
approaches and customer focus have resulted in a
seamless solution that will deliver a world class solution
to the Air Force. We look forward to applying this expertise
to the future ASR/SSR and TIC3A programs.
Thales Canada will deliver to DND a new generation of mobile
air defence capability. Thales’ solution includes its Ground
Master 400, the world’s most advanced 3-dimensional
mobile air defence radar, integrated with Identification
Friend or Foe (IFF)command and control capabilities, GroundAir-Ground and SatCom Communications, Link 16/11/1,
networking and management systems, and simulation.
The Ground Master 400 provides exceptional long-range
detection of targets ranging from small low-flying UAVs to
high flying fighter aircraft under challenging weather and
electronic warfare conditions. The outstanding reliability
of the Ground Master 400, coupled with a design that
inherently permits graceful degradation will assure the
Canadian Forces of making the most capable contribution to
air security wherever and whenever needed.
• 3D Air Surveillance to 450 kms.
• Performance against both high performance and lowcross-section targets
• Below-the-horizon detection capability
• Integrated IFF interrogator
• Exceptional reliability
• Graceful degradation through digital processing
and redundancy
• Exceptional mobility with minimum set-up time
• Area air control with fully integrated communications
and C2 suite.
Best-in-class Solutions
Ship Radar
Thales Canada has been a major provider of radar systems
to the Canadian Navy since 1967. The IROQUOIS Class has
exclusively used Thales radar systems and, through recent
overhaul activity, will continue to operate these radars into
the next decade. These radars are the LW08 Long Range
Air Surveillance Radars, the DA08 Medium Range Air /
Surface Surveillance Radars and STIR 220 Fire Control
Radars. Thales radars will continue to ensure that wherever
the Canadian Navy may sail, it will be able to ensure the
safety and security of its airspace.
DND has selected the Thales SMART-S MkII radar for the
Halifax Class Modernization Project. The SMART-S MkII is a
state-of-the-art 3 dimensional volume search radar which is
highly effective in supporting littoral operations.
• 3D Air Surveillance with Fast Target alerts
• Surface Surveillance
• Surface Gun Fire Support
• Jammer Surveillance
• IFF Interrogation Support
• Maximum Instrumented range : 250 km
• Maximum elevation coverage : 70 degrees
• Minimum Range : 150 meters
• Tracking 3D capacity (Air+Surface) : 500 targets
• Fully automatic detection and tracking.
• Dedicated ECCM techniques.
• Digital beamforming, resulting in 12 simultaneous
receive beams
• Multipath suppression
• Digital pulse compression
