The Joint Support ships will provide the RCN with a greater flexibility to conduct a wide range of operations both domestically and internationally. Originally announced in 2004, a contract for the construction of these ships was to have been signed in 2009. They were to have been available for operational service in 2012. As of January 2012, contract for the construction of these ships has not been signed and proposed entry into service has been set back by five years to 2017. The RCN has concluded that the Berlin class replenishment ship and the Cantabria Class are the only candidates for adaptation. The Berlin Class and the Cantabria Class designs are the only two designs that can be adapted to meet the Canadian Forces [67] requirements.

Kingston Coastal defence TBD 2020 Halifax Shipyard The Royal Canadian Navy is discarding its $100M mid-life class vessel/Minehunter  Canada [] refit plan for the twelve vessels in this class. Instead, Replacement MCDVs will be replaced by new vessels to enter service in 2020. It had been intended to retain the ‘mid-lifed’ vessels through 2045–2055 however, the Royal Canadian Navy has concluded that the money would be better spent in acquiring a new platform. RCN's review listed low speed and small size as reasons for the MCDV being inadequate for patrol duties (both are factors of the original specification). Critics note that patrol and training were tacked onto the mine-countermeasures role and that the platform lacks serious armament for a sovereignty [] enforcement role. As of January 2012, a contract for the construction of these ships has not been signed. Naval Remote remote weapon N/A 2012 N/A The Department of National Defence has a requirement to Weapon station provide a Naval Remote Weapons Station defence capability Station [69][70] to the Halifax and Iroquois classes. Amphibious Amphibious TBD TBD TBD The Canadian Forces and Department of National Defence had Assault Ship assault ships discussed the possibility of acquiring one or more amphibious Project assault ships for the Royal Canadian Navy that would be capable of transporting up to 1,000 soldiers and equipment and supporting them in an amphibious assault. Such ships would be similar to the San Antonio class amphibious transport dock or Mistral class amphibious assault ship and would function as a light carrier capable of supporting aircraft such as the CH-147 Chinook transport helicopters, CH-148 Cyclone anti-submarine helicopters, CH-146 Griffon light utility helicopters, as well as vertical lift fighter jets, and water-borne landing craft and air cushioned vehicles. The project is not believed to have proceeded to the design stage. DCNS had recently proposed two ships for the Canadian forces. The FREMM multipurpose frigate and the Mistral class [] amphibious assault ship.

The project consists of a parametric study which will be used to determine the factors that affect the recovery of drone on board the Halifax class. In 2009, the HMCS Glace Bay was equipped with a Scan Eagle for this project. The Royal Canadian Navy has since decided the HMCS Charlottetown (FFH 339) will carry this small UAV [71] when it returns to Libyan waters.

This capability is meant to support deployed commanders in mission planning and in making tactical decisions where time is crucial. The Canadian Forces will be acquiring two URSA systems, at a total cost of $31.1-million, one meant for international deployments and the other for [77] domestic operations and training. Space Situational TBA TBA TBA TBA Non-friendly parties may utilize high-resolution Commercial Awareness (SSA) Satellite Imagery to collect information over areas that the CF may be operating in. The Space Situational Awareness capability will address this concern by providing military Commanders with increased awareness of satellite over flights in theatres of operation. The Space Situational Awareness capability will provide for the monitoring and analysis of the location and status of adversarial and third party commercial space resources. This includes providing information on threats posed by adversarial space assets to deployed CF elements and enabling commanders to account for potential space threats in their operational [78] planning.
  • 8. Planned Canadian Forces projects 8 Tactical Polar Epsilon - 1 2014-15 MacDonald, The Polar Epsilon project was approved on May 30, 2005. It uses Satellite-Based Radarsat Dettwiler and information from RADARSAT-2, launched in December 2007, Imagery System - Constellation Associates, Ltd. to produce imagery for Canadian military commanders to use in Space and order to conduct operations in their areas of responsibility. The Ground Segments RADARSAT-2 information is used in many ways, including - Upgrade surveillance of Canada’s Arctic region and maritime approaches, the detection of vessels, and support to CF operations globally. The implementation phase of Polar Epsilon began in March 2009 with the design and construction phase of two new RADARSAT-2 ground stations, by MacDonald Dettwiler and Associates (MDA), one on the east coast in Masstown, N.S., and the other on the west coast in Aldergrove, B.C. The ground stations will be wholly owned and operated by the Government of Canada and are expected to be operational by March 2011. Completion of the Polar Epsilon project is expected by late 2011. The three satellites forming the RADARSAT Constellation scheduled for launch in 2014-15, will provide continuity of data for Polar Epsilon. Mercury Global Wideband Global 1 17 Boeing In exchange for a contribution of $337.3 million, the CF will Satellite (WGS) January  Canada obtain approximately 20 years of access to reserved frequencies Communications 2012 for military communications in theatres of operation across the System globe on this eight satellite system. By signing the WGS Memorandum of Understanding, Canada joins allies such as the United States, Australia, New Zealand, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and Denmark. Three of the originally planned eight satellites have already been launched and are in operation. The fourth will be launched the week of January 16, 2012, and the fifth is scheduled for launch later in 2012. The signing of the MOU will provide funding for the construction of a ninth [79] satellite, further enhancing the constellation’s coverage. Joint (Other) Projects Model Type Number Dates Manufacturer Details New Defence National Defence 1 2016 In late 2011 DND purchased the former campus of Nortel on Carling Headquarters Headquarters - 18 Avenue, in the west end of Ottawa for $208 million in order to establish a Ottawa new headquarters facility there. The campus consists of 12 buildings on approximately 28 hectares that were owned by Nortel and 120 hectares leased from the National Capital Commission. An additional $630 million will be spent to refit the site and construct a new operational command building. Up to 10,000 military and civilian personnel will eventually work there. The move to the former Nortel campus will reduce the number of Defence Department and Canadian Forces locations in Ottawa and Gatineau from 48 to seven or less. DND’s main headquarters, the Major-General George R. Pearkes Building on Colonel By Drive, and its facility on Star Top Road will continue to be used. The Pearkes building was intended for Transport Canada, but in 1974 became DND headquarters. In 2008, DND came up with its long-term office accommodation strategy, which included a reduced headquarters building at Colonel By Drive, a continued presence in Gatineau and a consolidated campus that included a new operational command building.

  • 9. Planned Canadian Forces projects 9 New Sigint Communications 1 2014 Plenary Reporting to the Minister of National Defence the Communications Headquarters Security Properties Security Establishment Canada (CSEC) mandate is to protect the safety of Establishment Canadians and Canadian information and to provide C4ISR support to the Long-Term Canadian Forces through electronic eavesdropping (sigint operations), Accommodation robust encoding, and cyber-security. The ECHELON interception system, Project (LTA) which also features cooperation with the US, UK and Australia, is the agencies’ best-known cooperative venture. Following the attacks of 11 September 2001, CSEC increased its size such that existing facilities at the Sir Leonard Tilley Building were no longer adequate to support its activities. Construction of the new $867 million, 72,000 square meter facility in Ottawa, next to CSIS Headquarters, began in 2011 and should [81][82] be finished by 2014.
