Build the acoustic front end for naval detection and tracking in Canada. Nautel Sonar develops hull-mounted and variable-depth wet-end sonar products, subsystems, and complete systems in Nova Scotia.
Operating context
Nautel Sonar is Nautel’s specialist sonar division, with research and engineering in Nova Scotia and Ontario. It supplies OEM components and complete wet-end subsystems. DND identifies Nautel as a subcontractor to GDMS Canada on the Halifax-class Underwater Warfare Suite Upgrade. The NS72-36 amplifier illustrates the configuration detail behind that role: 36 channels rated at 2 kW each, a 3–12 kHz standard band and reduced power at the frequency extremes. Full-power duty cycle is below 20%, and the published ambient range is 0–40°C. Those electrical ratings do not specify acoustic detection range or establish identical limits for the separate NS88-44 model. An integrator should scope transducers, waveform duty, cooling and control interfaces together with the selected amplifier.
Canadian footprint
Nautel Sonar has a documented Canadian operating presence in Hackett's Cove, Nova Scotia, Canada. Its public organization and capability evidence should be read at that location and national scope only where the cited sources explicitly support it.
Glen Margaret, Nova Scotia is the published city-level context for Nautel Sonar. It does not imply a street address or exact facility location.
Nautel Sonar provides OEM products and integrated sonar subsystems from Canadian engineering and manufacturing facilities. The Nautel 510 HMS combines the transmission chain from amplifier to transducer array, while NS72-36 and NS88-44 are distinct amplifier configurations. DND identifies Nautel as a UWSU subcontractor; Nautel reports installation of its equipment on Canadian frigates. Complete-system dimensions and limits should not be substituted for those of a standalone amplifier, and electrical ratings do not establish detection performance.
Evidence of maturity
Commercial OEM subsystems with a government-corroborated historical UWSU role and supplier-reported installations. Posted qualification lists require configuration-specific supporting records.
Commercial availability
Provided through project quotation and OEM integration. Confirm component versus complete-system scope, selected interfaces, ship-specific installation and acceptance documentation.
Reviewed connections indicate possible relevance based on public evidence. They do not indicate procurement direction, eligibility, endorsement or customer interest.
Questions for a first conversation
01
Which amplifier, transducer and cooling configuration matches the intended waveform duty and operating temperature, and what acceptance results can be shared for that configuration?
Adds model-specific electrical and duty-cycle limits to the documented Canadian sonar programme role.

Nautel NS72-36 is a 36-channel hull-mounted sonar amplifier rated 2 kW/channel, with standard 3–12 kHz bandwidth, reduced output below 5 kHz and above 12 kHz, and full-power duty cycle below 20%. It uses silicon-carbide switching, redundant TCP/IP control and a 0–40 C ambient range; it is installed in the Halifax-class UWSU. These are amplifier ratings, not acoustic detection range.
