Company
Burnaby, British Columbia
OceanWorks International is a British Columbia subsea-engineering company that designs and manufactures manned and unmanned underwater work systems, submarine rescue equipment, launch-and-recovery systems and seafloor network infrastructure.
OceanWorks International's documented capability could supply a distinct sensing, processing, integration, deployment or sustainment layer for a containerized anti-submarine-warfare system; this is an analyst-derived fit, not evidence of a specific procurement role.
Company
Nanaimo, British Columbia
Put eyes and tools underwater with a durable, modular vehicle built in Canada. SEAMOR Marine manufactures inspection-class ROVs, cameras, and accessories in Nanaimo.
Inspection-class ROVs can provide close-range visual awareness and payload access for underwater inspection in locations where diver exposure is undesirable.
Company
Collingwood, Ontario
Build underwater acoustic sensing around the mission instead of a fixed catalogue part. Sensor Technology manufactures custom piezoelectric transducers, hydrophones, and sensing systems in Ontario.
Custom acoustic sensors and hydrophones can provide collection components for underwater detection, monitoring, and uncrewed-platform payloads.
Company
St. Catharines, Ontario
Shark Marine Technologies is a St. Catharines underwater-technology manufacturer producing ROVs, diver navigation and delivery systems, sonar, mission software and supporting hardware for military, law-enforcement, scientific and commercial users.
Shark Marine Technologies's ROV, underwater-sensing, inspection or mission-support capability could improve rapid collection and interpretation of public-source subsea observations.
Company
Nanaimo, British Columbia
Shift Coastal Technologies is a Nanaimo autonomous-maritime systems integrator that combines platforms, sensing or effecting payloads, onboard compute, communications and command infrastructure into field-deployable systems.
Shift Coastal Technologies's documented capability could supply a distinct sensing, processing, integration, deployment or sustainment layer for a containerized anti-submarine-warfare system; this is an analyst-derived fit, not evidence of a specific procurement role.
Company
Dartmouth, Nova Scotia
See the Canadian systems behind submarine detection at sea. From its Dartmouth operation, Ultra Maritime develops and builds towed arrays in Canada and manufactures or integrates sonobuoys, hull-mounted sonar, containerized Sea Tracker systems, and lifecycle support for Royal Canadian Navy and allied undersea-warfare programs.
The lifecycle scope helps bring the River-class underwater-warfare sensors and defensive systems through integration, trials and acceptance into sustained fleet readiness.
Hull-mounted sonar provides persistent shipboard detection, classification and tracking at the centre of an integrated underwater-warfare picture.
Sea Lancer's detection, localization and classification functions give operators the acoustic coverage needed to find and understand submarine and torpedo activity across wider areas.
