Canadian Coast Guard to have latest Scanter radars

Denmark’s Terma AS and UK-based Sperry Marine are to provide Scanter naval surveillance radar systems to the Canadian Coast Guard for icebreakers to be built at Seaspan Shipyards in Vancouver.  The partners will provide Scanter 4603 and Scanter 6002 systems for the Coast Guard’s upcoming muti-purpose and polar icebreaker construction programmes.

Terma’s Scanter radar systems provide comprehensive surface surveillance as well as medium- to high-level air coverage. They are designed to identify and track very small targets in extreme northern environments and harsh Arctic conditions. The vessels being built at Seaspan will support the Coast Guard’s missions throughout the country, enabling search and rescue, emergency response, and sovereignty protection.

Per Sørensen, senior sales director, Naval Sales at Terma AS, commented: “Terma’s Scanter surveillance radar is engineered to meet the highest naval standards and ensure exceptional performance in challenging maritime environments.”

Canada-based Colin Ross, Sperry Marine’s Naval Sales director, said: “This project is not just about technological advancement, but also about fostering long-term operational effectiveness and strategic collaboration. It reinforces our dedication to supporting government partners in delivering secure, innovative maritime solutions.”
