MAD-XR Magnetic Anomaly Detection may help teams working on Future submarine operational capability by contributing to maritime and undersea operations and detection and situational awareness.
MAD-XR Magnetic Anomaly Detection may help teams working on Persistent uncrewed underwater surveillance by contributing to maritime and undersea operations, detection and situational awareness, and autonomous and uncrewed systems.
Military aviation training and operational support may help teams working on Canadian submarine sustainment and industrial capacity by contributing to logistics and sustainment and advanced materials and manufacturing.
Official organization material supports this profile: Montreal-headquartered global training and operational-support prime delivering simulation, training-system integration, mission rehearsal, courseware, training services, and lifecycle support across air, land, maritime, space, and cyber domains.
The CAE-issued release expands the collaboration into LVC and LSI environments and a technology roadmap covering M-346 ITS Block 20, AI-enabled systems, and increasingly autonomous mission environments.
CAE's official product page describes MAD-XR as a highly sensitive compact digital magnetic-anomaly-detection sensor for submarine detection, with reduced size, weight, and power for maritime patrol aircraft, helicopters, RPAs, and small fixed-wing platforms.
The public notice calls for Canadian industrial participation and a domestic sustainment approach covering infrastructure, training, maintenance, and through-life support.
The official requirement calls for long-duration uncrewed vehicles that deploy and employ sensors to provide persistent coverage, with initial delivery anticipated in 2035/2036.
