Saabs Again for Canadian Coast Guard
01 Jun 2006
The Canadian Coast Guard has placed an order for 141 Saab TransponderTech marine DGPS receivers in a move to upgrade shipboard navigation systems throughout the fleet.
The new Saab DGPS antennas and sensors will replace the stand alone DGPS receivers currently installed on the vessels. They will be integrated with the existing Saab R4 Automatic Information System installations, providing a seamless DGPS/AIS solution sharing a common user interface and display.
The DGPS systems will be fitted on Canadian Coast Guard icebreakers, buoy tenders, fisheries patrol vessels and SAR cutters during this year.
The products are being supplied by Austin Navigation, a Saab authorised dealer in Canada.
The DGPS upgrades follow an order for 105 Saab R4 AIS systems, awarded by the Canadian Coast Guard last year.
