PBO pushes up cost estimate for Canada's frigate build by $8 billion An internal federal government estimate, obtained by The Canadian Press in early 2016, pegged the … [12][14] The construction phase of the program on the east coast was completed on 29 November 2016 when the final east coast ship, Toronto, was handed back to the Royal Canadian Navy at Halifax. “As the prime contractor providing in-service support to the Halifax Class frigates, Fleetway is well known for its outstanding naval engineering and design services,” commented … This estimate includes costs resulting from development, production, spare parts, ammunition, training, government program management and upgrades to existing facilities. Here you can compare specifications, production year, cost and pictures navy ships. Find out with this Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) documentary on the Halifax Class Modernization/Frigate Life Extension project. [27] Elbit Systems received a contract to supply Electronic Warfare equipment for the Halifax class, including active jamming and tracking systems. This is a new class of frigates for the Chinese Navy which is being built in large numbers. You can check the specs, operators, images and videos. It reveals the scope and detail of this multi-billion dollar project. As a result the frigates were built in two batches of six each sometimes referred to as the 'Montreal' and 'Halifax' batches. The CSC acquisition project is expected to cost between CA$55 billion and … MASS is currently in use by 15 other navies worldwide. This system was augmented by the Maritime Satellite Communications Upgrade (MSCU), featuring the AN/USC-69(V3) antenna installed on the hangar top.

NCSM Halifax vogue dans la mer des Caraïbes au large de Jacmel, en Haïti, à l’occasion de l’Op Hestia le 18 février 2010. Lockheed Martin Canada and ISED negotiated new obligations in October 2017 and will be amending the contract. The Halifax class also carries a close-in anti-submarine weapon in the form of the Mark 46 torpedo, launched from twin Mark 32 Mod 9 torpedo tubes in launcher compartments either side of the forward end of the helicopter hangar. [7], As built, the main gun on the forecastle is a 57 mm (2.2 in)/70 calibre Mark 2 gun from Bofors. It is outfitted mainly with Russian electronics and weapons, some of which have been substituted with Chinese copies. Seven different cost factors were examined to determine the total costs for the CSC. [2] The Halifax-class modernization program is currently underway and is scheduled to complete the refit and modernization of all twelve ships of the class by 2018. The HALIFAX Class, or Canadian Patrol Frigate (CPF), resulted from this requirement and the first ships started to appear in the early 1990's.

It is the fifth and final frigate on the west coast to complete its modernization by Seaspan’s Victoria Shipyard Co. Ltd. March 16 2016HMCS Vancouver marked the first ever missile test against shore-based targets. The Halifax class currently use the RIM-162 Evolved Sea Sparrow Missile (ESSM), instead of the obsolete RIM-7 Sea Sparrow. The CEROS 200 is part of the 9LV Mk4. [2], The new combat system architecture and combat management system is the CMS330 Combat Management System from Lockheed Martin Canada, which includes elements of the Saab 9LV Mk4 Combat Management System (known as the "CanACCS-9LV" suite of components. These large multi-purpose frigates are excellent in the heavy seas found in the North Atlantic, and are tailored to Canadian requirements in other respects as well. The Halifax-Class Modernization program is a highly complex and collaborative effort between the Government of Canada and more than 30 companies within the Canadian defence industry. [17] IPMS is a development of SHINMACS.[8]. [8], The Integrated Platform Management System (IPMS) from L-3 MAPPS provides systems management. The SG-150 HC will be upgraded and will secure a high level of operational availability as well improved functions. November 2014HMCS Fredericton conducted a force generation missile exercise. Saint John Shipbuilding is the prime contractor for the Halifax Class frigate or Canadian Patrol Frigate programme. [5][7] That made them slightly larger than the Iroquois-class destroyers.

The 12 Halifax-class frigates, commissioned between 1992 and 1996, form the backbone of the RCN. The ship is also fitted with Raytheon AN/SPS-49(V)5 long-range active air search radar operating at C and D … [23] Thales supplied 13 Smart-S Mk2 S-band radars, including one for training purposes. A third batch of frigates was cancelled in an effort by the Canadian Forces to acquire nuclear-powered submarines in the late 1980s. The ESSM gives a greater range against anti-ship missiles and enemy aircraft. [4] In July 1983, the federal government approved the budget for the design and construction of the first batch of six frigates, with a second batch ordered in December 1987. As part of the refit, Thales Canada supplied the Sirius long-range Infrared Search and Track (IRST) for the Halifax class. The Halifax-class frigate (hull designation FFH) is a class of multi-role patrol frigates that have served the Royal Canadian Navy since 1992. Commissioned between 1992 and 1996, they are receiving state-of-the-art upgrades that include a new Combat Management System, new radar capability, new electronic warfare systems and upgraded communications and missile systems. As of 2016[update] the project was on budget. All the ships are named after Canadian cities. This will help decrease support time and cost and enable Fleetway to maximise fleet availability.

It used a revolutionary redundant and distributed computer architecture which was exported for use in US military control systems. [7] A Raytheon/General Dynamics Phalanx Mark 15 Mod 21 Close-In Weapon System (CIWS) is mounted on top of the helicopter hangar for "last-ditch" defence against targets that evade the Sea Sparrow. The 12 Canadian-built multi-role patrol frigates are considered the backbone of the RCN and can deploy anywhere in the world – with NATO or with individual allied nations. However, the Halifax-class vessels continue to be upgraded with at least some ships of the class anticipated as likely to continue service into the 2040s. The deliveries began at the end of 2010 and were completed in 2015. Photo des Forces canadiennes : Jacek Szymanski, Marine royale canadienne. MASS is a fully computerized countermeasure. Various specialists discuss some of the daunting details that must be completed correctly if the project is to succeed.
