Raytheon Anschütz press release

Raytheon Anschütz, a business of Raytheon Technologies, delivered a state-of-the-art integrated navigation system (INS) to the Canadian Coast Guard’s brand-new Offshore Oceanographic Science Vessel (OOSV). Currently, under construction at Seaspan’s Vancouver Shipyards (Seaspan), the sophisticated OOSV will serve multiple tasks, including oceanographic, fishery, geological and hydrographic survey missions.

The INS recently completed the factory acceptance test successfully at Thales Canada, which was selected after a competitive bid process by Seaspan as the electronic systems integrator. The INS will be integrated with the command and control (C2) system and the integrated platform management system (IPMS) to optimize mission capabilities on the bridge.

“The delivery marks another important milestone in our long-term partnership with Thales Canada. Together with Thales, we can provide the Canadian Coast Guard with a reliable and highly efficient bridge system, customized to support the demanding missions of the OOSV.”


Kevin Overmoyer, Business Development & Sales Manager for Raytheon Anschütz in Canada

The system consists of eight Synapsis NX multifunctional workstations which provide a broad, functional range of capabilities for precise and safe navigation and other mission-related tasks. It also includes a virtual electronic chart display and information system (ECDIS) as a planning station, a bridge navigational watch alarm system (BNWAS), fuel-efficient and precise autopilots, winterized radars, and a redundant, maintenance-free gyrocompass system. The core of the system – the Synapsis integration platform – allows the integration of multiple navigational sensors and ensures a consistent, clear presentation and handling of data, targets, and alarms at any connected workstation.

Raytheon Anschütz is also providing comprehensive training, material, and expertise for Thales Canada to grow an in-house capability to provide and integrate the navigation systems.

“We want to leverage the experiences and synergies collected during our successful performance and cooperation to continue our strong support for Thales Canada,” said Overmoyer.

Seaspan is the government of Canada’s chosen non-combat shipbuilder under the National Shipbuilding Strategy (NSS) and is responsible for building the next generation of non-combat vessels for the Canadian Coast Guard and Royal Canadian Navy. Under this strategy, Raytheon Anschütz already delivered integrated bridge and navigation systems to Canada’s new Offshore Fisheries Science Vessels (OFSV), CCGS Sir John Franklin, CCGS Capt. Jacques Cartier and CCGS John Cabot.
