Join us for a presentation on CP140 Airborne Imaging Radar System by our speaker, Jerry Lim.  The Canadian Forces currently operates a fleet of 18 CP140 Aurora Long Range Patrol Aircraft used for surface and undersea surveillance role. The Canadian Department of National Defense is currently executing a CP140 Aurora Incremental Modernization Project, with the objectives of restoring the Aurora’s operational capabilities through an incremental replacement of existing avionics systems with modern avionics system.

MDA was selected as the Prime Contractor to supply the multi-mode long-range imaging and surveillance radars for the DND’s CP140 Aurora fleet.  In addition, MDA developed and delivered Ground Replay and Processing Facilities and Airborne Radar Simulator to support the radar sensor operations and training of the radar operators.
