Castor Class Nuclear Battle Cruiser BCN



The NW Canadian Castor class Nuclear Battle cruiser (BCN) of the NW Canadian Next Gen Series of Warships is a highly advanced Nuclear Battle cruiser! Its design allows the ship to operate equally as well as a member or a Task group or as alone combatant. The Castor 's highly advanced and integrated sensor system gives it a constant feed of information on the world around it, be it on the surface, on land, underwater, in the air, or in orbit. Capable of simultaneously engaging dozens of targets. With proper planning a single Castor can strike its enemy, by not only gun fire but with subsonic, supersonic, hypersonic and ballistic missile attack. Taking a page from history, the Castor also can conduct intensive and lethal torpedo attacks from beyond the horizon.

Design
The NW Canadian Castor class CGN has a conventional hull design with the bow is designed t ride over waves rather than cut through them.

Watertight compartments, insulation, redundancy of vital systems, power distribution, and routing, blast and fragmentation retaining structures provide a very high level of survivability against missile attack and fire hazards. For nuclear chemical and biological warfare protection the ship is subdivided into two gas citadels and a sub citadel.

Requirements for the integrated deck-house EDM is that it is fully EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) shielded with reduced infrared and radar signatures. Measures to fulfill these conditions include an all-composite superstructure, low signature electronically steered arrays, an integrated multi-function mast and low radar and infrared signatures. Constructed of rugged, lightweight composites, the angular deck-house increases stealth by minimizing radar reflectance. The surfaces of the deck-house incorporate all radar apertures and communication antennas, eliminating high-profile masts and rotating antennas.

Protection
The hull material is a sandwich construction comprising a PVC core with a carbon fiber and vinyl laminate as well as multiple layers of Kevlar. The material provides high strength and rigidity, low weight, good shock resistance, low radar and magnetic signature as well as provide a high degree of protection to the ship systems and crew. Layered in the hull material is an electromagnetic absorbing mesh. This mesh serves multiple roles. The first is to absorb EM leakage from the vessel systems to help prevent passive ESM detection of the vessel. Second, and most vital role is the protection of the vessel from EMP effects. The mesh absorbs the EMP energy which is converted to heat and transferred to the below waterline heat sink system where it is dissipated. The mesh will absorb roughly 90 to 98 percent of the EMP effects and will allow the vessel to remain combat functional! Where ever possible, plates of ceramic bonded to Kevlar are in place to add additional protection to vital systems.

The armor scheme of the battlecruisers is quite complex with Nano-crystal steel armor plates of various thicknesses used. Nano-crystal steel by its very nature is three times harder than RHA and thus less can be used giving significant weight savings. The citadel armor was intended to provide an immunity zone against 8 in (200 mm) armor-piercing shells at ranges between 13,000–15,000 yards (12,000–14,000 m) and 34,000 yards (31,000 m). The remainder of the armor was intended to resist 6-inch (150-155 mm) high explosive shells and 500-kilogram (1,100 lb) HE bombs.
Armor:
Belt: 100 mm
Conning tower: 150 mm
Deck: 50 mm
Turrets: 75 mm



Stealth
The design of the ship incorporates stealth features with an emphasis on the reduction of radar cross section, infrared, acoustic, electrical and magnetic signatures.

The design of the NW Canadian Next Gen Vessels minimizes the optical and infrared signature, above water acoustic and hydro acoustic signature, underwater electrical potential and magnetic signature, pressure signature, radar cross section and actively emitted signals.

Water sleeting along the sides, along with passive cool air induction reduces thermal emissions. The thermal signature is further reduced through the use of below water thermal heat sinks that excess heat is vented to. The smart surfaces of the vessels are attempted to be kept at the same temperatures as their environment to reduce or eliminate thermal detection.

To aid in reducing detection by radar, large portions of the vessels above water surfaces have been covered with RAM (Radar Absorbing Material) tiles. The make up of these tiles absorbs Radar energy and does not allow it to return.

Autonomic Fire Suppression System (AFSS)
An advanced automated damage-control system combines sensors, cameras and automated firefighting capabilities to ensure that the Castor has the fastest possible response time to life- and ship-threatening events. This system improves survivability in both peacetime and wartime while reducing the number of crewmembers needed for damage control. Depending on the section and the extent of damage, the ships can deploy either a water spray/mist system or use a Halon/Nitrogen dump system to quell fires. The ship's construction is very much modular in design with each module being composed of various self contained compartments. These compartments can be automatically or manually sealed off from the rest of the ship and can also be flooded with sea water. This flooding aids in fire control and can be used in the advent of immenent internal explosions to dampen the blasts by using the water to absorb the concussion as well as the water pressure reinforcing the strength of the compartment walls against the explosive force.

Automation
The level of Automation used in the NW Canadian Next Gen Vessels will reduce crew size on these ships. A smaller crew will reduce a major component of operating costs.
Ammunition, food, and other stores, are all mounted in containers able to be struck below to magazine/storage areas by an automated cargo handling system.


Integrated Propulsion and Power System (IPPS)
The NW Canadian Next Gen Vessels are fitted with an innovative integrated electric propulsion system. Historically, electric-drive ships have supplied power to their electric motors using DC, and ship's electrical load, where necessary at all, was either separately supplied or was supplied as DC with a large range of voltage. Integrated electric propulsion seeks to supply all propulsion and ship's electrical load via AC at a high quality of voltage and frequency. This is achieved by computerized control, high quality transformation and electrical filtering.

The NW Canadian Next Gen Vessels are all nuclear powered making use of the NWCOK-650 reactor in various configurations according to hull size.

The NWCOK-650 reactor is the nuclear fission reactor used to power a number of submarines currently in service with the NW Canadian Navy. Its small, highly efficient design was deemed perfect for the power source of the NW Canadian Next Gen Vessels. It is a pressurized water reactor (PWR), using 20-45% enriched uranium-235 fuel to produce 190 MW of power.

The NWCOK-650 reactor(s) provide electrical power at to a high voltage system. The high voltage supply is then used to provide power to advanced induction motors with outputs of 20 MW (27,000 hp) each. Ship's services, including hotel load and weapons system power supplies are transformed down from the high voltage supply to 440 V or 115 V.
The benefits of integrated electric propulsion are:
• The ability to place the electric motors closer to the propeller, thus shortening the shaftline, obviating the need for a gearbox or controllable pitch propellers, and reducing exposure to action damage.
• The opportunity to place prime movers (generators and alternators) at convenient locations away from the shaftline, thus reducing the space lost, while at the same time improving access for maintenance and engine changes.
• The freedom to run all propulsion and ship services from a single prime mover for much of the ship's life, thus dramatically reducing engine running hours and emissions.

The combination of greater efficiency and nuclear endurance, allows for sustained high speed

Each of the shafts drive five bladed variable-pitch propellers. Each vessel is rated at being capable of doing 32 knots.


Command , Control and Communications
The combat system will be based on the total ship computing environment (TSCE) utilizing open architecture, standardized software and commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware.

The ship is equipped with the SEWACO XI combat data system developed by Thales Naval Nederland. The RNIN's Centre for the Automation of Weapon and Command Systems (CAWCS) has developed the software. The system will use asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) network architecture.

The integrated bridge and navigation system consists of multi-function consoles capable of displaying various functions such as Sensor matrix output, electronic chart display and information systems (ECDIS) and NautoConning navigation data which reads and displays in a logically arranged manner and distributes the navigation data.

One of the consoles is dedicated for route planning purposes.

The integrated bridge and navigation system encompasses the ship steering and control equipment, a ring-laser based dual MINS marine inertial navigation system, two data distribution units and a complete set of navigational sensors and meteorological equipment. A redundant laid out Ethernet bus configuration interconnects the multi-function consoles and sensors.

The communications system has a high-capacity digital communications switch, which interconnects the voice and data communications channels. The system provides internal communications or open conference lines and access to external communications with various radio links and land-based networks. The upgradeable high-performance combat system is based on a high-speed data network. The combat system architecture will enable future weapon systems to be integrated into the frigates. The ship's standard external communications include Link 11, Link 16, Link 22, JTID and JSAT tactical data links, allowing full interoperability with allied forces. Internal communications include messaging, conventional and wireless telephony, public address, closed circuit television, and internet and intranet ports.


Total Ship Computing Environment (TSCE)
The TSCE is an Open Architecture design. Designed to bind all the vessels systems together, the TSCE creates a shipboard enterprise network allowing seamless integration of all on-board systems. The network is makes use of the NW Canadian developed OMA Linux OS which is known for its ultra stability, and viral resistance. Multiple embedded single board computers are placed through out the vessel as well as three servers per zone. This allows for redundancy and task/load sharing. Are systems as well as data lines are shielded and armored.

Sensors

RADAR
WODEN-1A Multi-band radar
The vessel makes use of the newly developed APAR/AESA based WODEN-1A Multi-band radar system . This system makes use of an integrated matrix of both active and passive sensors of multiple bands. The system operators in X-band, S-Band, L-band as well as I-band. This is done by the use of banks of multi-band modules that work in conjunction with each other and the signal processing units. The WODEN-1A system can vary its emissions not only in band used but can generate a broad blanket scan as well as generate pencil beams to focus in on targets.

The WODEN-1A provides multi-mission capabilities, supporting both long range, exoatmospheric detection, tracking and discrimination of ballistic missiles, as well as Area and Self Defense against air and surface threats.

For the Area Air Defense and Self Defense capability, the WODEN-1A has increased sensitivity and clutter rejection capability is needed to detect, react to, and engage stressing Very Low Observable / Very Low Flyer (VLO/VLF) threats in the presence of heavy land, sea, and rain clutter.

This system provides high detection and excellent anti-jamming capabilities. The WODEN-1A has a LPI (low probability of intercept) radar operating at I band surface search mode.

The WODEN-1A D band radar provides very long range surveillance while the I band radar providing precise target tracking, a highly capable horizon search capability, and missile guidance using the Interrupted Continuous Wave Illumination (ICWI) technique, thus allowing guidance of 32 semi-active radar homing missiles in flight simultaneously, including 16 in the terminal guidance phase. The combat control system is similar to the old American Aegis system in that detection, identification and engagement can be completely automatic.

The WODEN-1A's L band is a long-range search radar. It is a multibeam radar, which uses multiple antenna elements to simultaneously generate multiple beams by digital beamforming. The beams' vertical directions are controlled electronically, stabilization against the ships movements (e.g. roll) is also done electronically. Horizontally direction is controlled mechanically by rotating the antenna array. The radar is able to detect targets up to 480km away in Extended Long Range (ELR) Mode. WODEN-1A radar is one of the most capable long-range radar in the world for detecting tactical targets, and provides options for low radar cross section ("stealth") target tracking.

Sonar
Integrated Undersea Warfare (IUSW)
The IUSW incorporates two types of sonar arrays in one automated system. The high frequency sonar provides in-stride mine avoidance capabilities, while the medium frequency sonar optimizes anti-submarine and torpedo defense operations. The use of sophisticated target algorithms better enables the vessel to engage enemy submarines and, at the same time, minimize crew headcount requirements. The sonar that will be required to achieve this goal includes the following:

Sonar - A dual-band sonar controlled by a highly automated computer system will be used to detect mines and submarines. The arrangement is optimized for "blue water" and littoral Anti-submarine warfare and includes:.
- A hull-mounted mid-frequency sonar (AN/SQS-60)
- A hull-mounted high-frequency sonar (AN/SQS-61)
- A multi-function towed array sonar and handling system (AN/SQR-20)


Optical Sensor Systems
The vessel also has an extensive set of IR and Optical sensor systems. These systems are for the most part installed on the top of superstructure for greater range of view but are also mounted in conjunction with the individual weapons stations to provide additional search, tracking and targeting capabilities.

The primary system are the MSIS electro-optic surveillance and fire control system is fitted on the vessels, which contains an 8–12-micron thermal imager, TV camera and laser rangefinder. These units also contain a new third-generation thermal imager with increased sensitivity and resolution.

To work in conjunction with the MSIS systems, Sirius LR-IRST long-range dual-band IRST long-range infra-red surveillance and tracking sensors are also installed. The Sirius are installed on top of the mast tower, and provides additional horizon search capability against sea-skimming missiles, low flying aircraft, and small surface craft.


COUNTERMEASURES

Passive
The electronic warfare suite is characterized by the latest generation of radar ESM (electronic support measures) and ECM (electronic countermeasures) architectures and implementation of new digital and microwave technologies.

The radar ESM component features very high sensitivity, very high accuracy direction finding and broadband digital receivers. The radar ECM component is based on phased array solid-state technology and features high specific transmitted power, fast reaction, multi-threats engagement capability and complete programmability of coherent and not coherent jamming techniques, due to the implementation of multiple broadband digital radio frequency memory (DRFM).

The NWC APECS II radar detection and jamming system can identify and jam up to 16 threats simultaneously. Detection range is 370km for ships and 93km for aircraft.


Active
The various active countermeasures systems are mounted behind retractable hull hatches to help maintain the stealth features of the vessel. Upon activation the hatches open and the systems in question are deployed.


Four MASS (multi-ammunition softkill) Launchers
NW Canadian Next Gen vessels are equipped with the MASS (multi-ammunition softkill) decoy systems. Each MASS system can launch up to 32 omni-spectral projectiles in a time-staggered configuration against anti-ship missiles and guided projectiles to a range of 4km. The MASS decoy covers radar, infrared, electro-optic, laser and ultraviolet wavebands.


SLAT anti-torpedo system (Two Launch Units)
The SLAT anti-torpedo system consists of a passive sensor for the detection, localization and classification of torpedoes, towed (Curtain hydrophone), a reaction subsystem, for the calculation and verification of evasive action, passive detection, localization and classification of the torpedo launchers and acoustic countermeasures.

Using passive acoustic sensors and advanced algorithms to detect and classify targets, the definition of a response anti-torpedo, and distribution of appropriate countermeasures. SLAT is a fully integrated system that incorporates subsystems: ALERT as acoustic sensors, gaming RATO reaction; CMAT subsystem for countermeasures, which is usually from 2 launchers with 12 tubes each.


NWCDS Sea Porcupine Decoy System (Four Launch Units)
The Sea Porcupine Decoy system is a multiple launch rocket systems developed by NW Canadian Defense Solutions, typically used by ships to launch flares as decoys and chaff. It has a caliber of 120 mm, swivel and elevating, and can also launch rockets with explosives in a radius of 10 km.

The launcher is designed for accurate distribution of false targets thereby providing passive defense for the ship against radar and infrared-seeking missiles, the typical mode of operation (various intervals) include: Confusion (dilution), Concealment, Distraction ; Dump;
Its main features are:
- Possibility to simultaneously load several types of rockets (chaff, IR flares);
- Automatic selection of the rockets to be launched;
- Possibility of repeated engagements, because of the availability of a large number of rockets, loaded in individual sealed containers;
- Automatic control by the ship's electronic warfare suite;
- Full coordination with the active defense systems of the ship - the ability to operate in all weather conditions and NBC (automatic);


Weapon Systems

Guns

Two (2) Triple Barrel 280 mm Electro-Thermal Naval Guns:
Two turrets are mounted on the ship forward of the superstructure ship. The barrels can be elevated up to 45 degrees and the turrets can rotate 280 degrees. The projectile is loaded into the barrel, behind which there is a "propellant", which is a plug of light metal. A powerful electromagnetic force is applied to the metal, which causes its atoms to "switch" directions. This happens so violently that the metal turns to plasma, and this expanding gas then drives the projectile forward.

This piece of artillery is capable of a very high rate of fire which makes it particularly suitable for defense and attack of surface ships and coastal targets. In addition to its versatility of uses, it is also given by the large quantity of ammunition types.

The main components of the artillery system are a computer-based control system with dual multi-band radar, television and optical target sighting, and a turret-mounted optical sighting unit.

The gun can be operated under fully automatic remote control interfaced to the radar control system, under autonomous control from the sighting unit or can be laid manually.

Range: conventional rounds 70 km
Extended range guided Trident Rounds: 100 to 130 km
Extended range guided Heaven's Fist Rounds: 90 km

Maximum Rate of Fire: 25 rounds/min per turret
Magazine: 900 rounds per turret

Ammunition: 280 mm TRIDENT



The Trident Extended Range Guided ammunition is a follow on development of the Italian VOLCANO rounds. The TRIDENT rounds compliment the NWCDS Heaven's Fist Guided projectiles. The Heaven's fist and conventional rounds carry larger payloads compared to TRIDENT rounds but the TRIDENT in most cases have longer ranges and superior accuracy when its required.

Features: The ammunition is composed of two sections. The component has front canard fins. The front contains the warhead of 15 kg and has 6 lugs. Behind the warhead is the guidance control section which allows the rounds to maneuver to their target. The final section is the boost section containing a solid fuel rocket booster that is initially ignited by the conventional shell propellant charge.

The ammunition will be of 3 types:
- Trident A (ER) - unguided base version that can reach 70 km and can be used against any type of naval, land or air target. The warhead is variable fused allowing it to detonate on contact, moments after penetration or by proximity to get maximum burst effect.

- Trident B (LR) - An anti-ship infrared sensor (IR) guided round that begins to look for the target at a distance of 6 km and a height of 2.5 km. The round can reach 100 km. The hardened warhead explodes after having penetrated the hull of the target ship. The rounds have a "kill probability" of 80% with the first blow against a ship the size of a frigate or smaller. Against larger vessels there would be significant internal damage. The warhead contains a termite component that promotes fires within the target vessels.

- Trident C (LR) - fully guided munitions using GPS and IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit). The projectile is fired up to 25 kilometers in altitude where it is headed by the IMU system is constantly updated by the GPS going on at supersonic speed with a constant angle of descent. The last phase of the flight is on target to hit. The range is 100-130 km depending on environmental conditions.

Are planned in the future version of C1 with the addition of semi-active guidance to engage a target illuminated by an observer on the ground or from an aircraft and the version with the addition of a C2 uplinks to update the data on the target . A C3 version is also underdevelopment that makes use of a passive RF seeker that can lock-on to RADAR and communications emissions removing the need to use a much more expensive ARM to neutralize the target.


Ammunition: 280 mm "Heavens Fist" Family of Guided Artillery rounds



The Heavens Fist Guided Artillery rounds are extended range guided artillery shells. It is a precise GPS-guided munition capable of being used in close support situations within 150 meters (490 ft) of assaulting troops.

The munition has a range of approximately 90 kilometers depending on configuration with a circular error probable (CEP) of around 20 meters (66 ft). The extended range is achieved through the use of folding glide fins, which allow the projectile to glide from the top of a ballistic arc towards the target. The accuracy is achieved through the use of a GPS guidance system.

Heavens Fist can be used in to minimize collateral damage, when complex terrain limits the effectiveness of conventional projectiles, for targets beyond the range of standard munitions, for precise fires within 150 meters (490 ft) of assaulting troops, when firing in a straight line from the launching cannon is limited by terrain, or targets of high value need to be neutralized.

The Heavens Fist comes in many variants

Type 1 High Explosive-Fragmentation
The guided Type 1 High-explosive fragmentation (HE-FRAG) shells are designed to be used against personnel and light material targets, such as trucks and parked aircraft. Upon detonation, a large quantity of metal fragments accelerates to a high velocity. This action damages the target along with the concussion of the detonation.

Type 2 UPW (Unitary Penetrating Warhead)
This guided round is composed of a hardened out case that allows for maximum penetration of hardened/buried targets. The round strikes burrowing into the target then explodes for maximum effect. The precision of he Heavens Fist rounds allow specific bunkers or installations to be targeted. As the blast occurs deep in the target, collateral effects are minimized.

Type3 DPICM (Dual Purpose Improved Conventional Munition)
This is cargo round with 65 Dual Purpose Improved Conventional Munition bomblets. The Cargo round using its guidance system enters it target zone and releases the bomblets. The streamer stabilized bomblets have an armor piercing warhead that can pierce the top armor of most armored vehicles and MBTs. A fragmentation shroud blows apart filling the area with antipersonnel shrapnel.

Type 4 RAD (Remote Area Denial Round)
Cargo round with 1 x POMD-1 anti-personnel mine, 20 x PMD-1 AP pressure mines, 5 x TMD-1 anti-tank mines. The Cargo round using its guidance system enters it target zone and releases the mines that it is carrying.

Type 5 SADARM (Sense and Destroy ARMor round)
Cargo round that contains two autonomous, sensor-fused, fire-and-forget submunitions, which descend over the battlefield on ballutes and attack hardened targets/vehicles with explosively formed penetrator warheads. The submunitions each contain a high-penetration EFP warhead for use against even heavy armored fighting vehicles like main battle tanks. The EFP warhead uses a heavy metal liner. The Cargo round using its guidance system enters it target zone and releases the submunitions. After the submunitions are released parachutes open. While slowly descending, the submunitions rotate, scanning the area below with an infra-red sensor and millimeter wave radar. The sensor system being composed of multiple types of sensor allow the round to be fully effective in every type of terrain independent of weather conditions. When the submunition detects a target, its 1.5 kg LX-14 explosive charge is detonated, to project an explosively formed penetrator that has enough energy to penetrate the thin top armor of most main battle tanks up to a range of around 152 m. If the submunition reaches the ground before it finds a target it self-destructs with a lethal explosive burst.

Type 6 TJ (Tactical Jammer)
This version of the Heavens Fist guided artillery round contains a 3RB30 jammer which set up radio interference to disrupt enemy communications. Steered by its guidance system the shell upon reaching its target zone deploys first a Ballute then a parachute and descends to the ground. Upon landing the Jammer activates. It can jam frequencies between 1.5MHz to 120MHz to a radius of 700m.

Type 7S and Type 7V Special munition
These versions of the Heavens Fist are chemical agent carrier shells. The 7S carries 6.5 lbs Sarin and the 7V carries 6.5 lbs of VX nerve agents in binary forms. The shell contained two canisters separated by a rupture disk. The compartments were filled with the two liquid precursor chemicals for the Binary Nerve Agents. When the shell is fired, the force of the acceleration causes the disk between them to breach and the spinning of the projectile facilitated mixing. The two precursor chemicals react in flight to produce the Nerve Agent in question, and when the shell reaches its target the Agent would be released. Being guided projectiles the placement and deployment of the Agents can be very precise.

Type 8N7 Special munition
This version of the Heavens Fist is a chemical agent carrier shell that contains the Novichok-7 nerve agent that was developed by the old Soviet Union in the 1970s and 1980s. This Agent is one of the most deadly nerve agents ever made, being five to eight times more potent than VX. The guided Heavens Fist shells are the perfect delivery vehicle for this lethal substance able to strike without warning and surgically.

Point Defense Systems
Eight (8) Hurricane Naval Close-in weapon system (CIWS)




The Hurricane Naval Close-in weapon system (CIWS) is a modern naval air defense gun-missile system deployed by the NW Canadian Navy. Two Hurricane CIWS are mounted, one to the fore and one to the aft of the super structure on retractable mounts. Two more Hurricane CIWS are located port and starboard of the superstructure.

It is found on a variety of vessels ranging from patrol boats to aircraft carriers. A combined gun and missile system, it provides defense against anti-ship missiles, anti-radar missiles and guided bombs. The system can also be employed against fixed or rotary wing aircraft or even surface vessels such as fast attack boats or targets on shore.

Its modular self-contained nature allows for easy installation on vessels of sufficient size and mass. The system is a perfect fit for military vessels as well as merchant that lack adequate defense versus not only aerial threats but surface threats as well (such as pirates).

The combination of the missiles and guns provides more comprehensive protection when compared to other CIWS utilizing either missiles or guns only.

Aerial targets include everything with minimum radar-cross-section of 2 cubic centimeters and speeds up to a maximum of 1300 meter/second within a maximum range of 20,000 meters and heights up to 15,000 meters—including all types of aircraft, helicopters, unmanned aerial vehicles, cruise missiles and air-to-ground precision guided weapons. The system is able to defend against stealth aircraft. The combined gun-missile system has an extremely low altitude engagement capability (targets as low as 0 m AGL can be engaged by this system).

The weapon is a modular system comprising a command module and combat modules. The command module detects and tracks threats, distributes targeting data to the combat modules, and interrogates IFF of approaching threats. The command module has 3D target detection radar, and an all weather multi-band integrated control system. Depending on the number of installed combat modules, the system can engage multiple targets simultaneously.

The system radars are capable of tracking not only air targets but also sea and land targets and has an integrated IFF system. Within the command module LCD multi-function and a central computer system greatly decreased the reaction time, single operator operation can be achieved when needed.

The combat modules automatically track targets, using either radar, electro-optronic control system (such as FLIRs) or both, and then engages targets with missiles and guns.

The combat modules are typically equipped with two of 35 mm NWCDS KDA autocannons, fed by a link-less feeding mechanism, and two 6-90S SeaLock missile launchers equipped with 6 ready-to-fire missiles each and fed by a reloading system storing 32 missiles in ready-to-launch containers.

Armament

Cannon
The guns used in the Hurricane CIWS are a pair of 35 mm NWCDS KDA autocannons. Each gun has a firing rate of 550 rounds/min. The guns are 90 calibers (3.15 m (10 ft 4 in)) long, with a muzzle velocity of 1,440 m/s (4,700 ft/s) The 35mm autocannon can take two different ammunition types, and the usual loading is a mix of 350 AHEAD (Advanced Hit Efficiency And Destruction) and 50 FAPDS (Frangible Armor Piercing Discarding Sabot rounds) rounds per gun. Combined rate of fire is 1,100 rounds/min

The AHEAD (Advanced Hit Efficiency And Destruction) ammunition round ejects 152 tungsten projectiles at a predetermined distance, between 40 and 10 m, from the target. A 25-round burst of AHEAD rounds produces 3,800 of these small projectiles to destroy the incoming missile. Cruise missiles can be destroyed at 2.5 km and high speed missiles at 1.5 km range. The round is also quite effective against aircraft, helicopters, small vessels and soft or lightly armored land targets saturating the target area with tungsten cubes.

The system's anti-missile capability is further enhanced by the Hurricane’s CLFS (Closed Loop Fire Correction System) which tracks projectiles all the way to the target. This allows for real-time correction of bias errors in the control system and compensation for atmospheric conditions.

Missiles

CSAM-90S Sea Lock Mk1B Anti-Aircraft/Missile Missile


Design

The Sea Lock Mk1S is based off the revolutionary CAAM-90E Head Lock missile.

The Lock Series are currently one of the most advanced missile systems in the world. . New technologies implemented in the Lock Series give it maneuvering and launching skills unimaginable just few years ago. Instead of talking about certain "killing hemisphere" we are talking about an ability to shoot any target at any angle, including backwards launch. This ability is possible by applying LOAL (lock on after launch) technology. As opposed to LOBL (lock on before launch), that is used in almost all short range missiles (excluding the Lock Series of course) in LOAL mode the one can launch a missile without being locked on the target, by getting the target’s estimated location from the array of sensors from the launcher, the launching vessel, or allied air assets.

The missile incorporates a new dual waveband, high off-boresight imaging seeker, advanced computer architecture, sophisticated IRCCM and flight control algorithms.

The Lock Series’ high speed is achieved by means of a combination of low drag and rocket motor size. By using a 16mm diameter motor, compared with other missiles which use a 127mm motor, the Lock Series has more propellant and can maintain a high speed throughout its flight time.

With a total of eighteen control surfaces and careful design, the resulting missile is supposed to be as maneuverable as air-to-air missiles with thrust vectoring nozzles. This allows the missile to fully maneuver using attained velocity once the motor burns out.


Guidance

Primary
From the moment the missile is launched, its head seeker scans the designated area constantly while it flies in a direct path to the estimated location of the target. The missile features an advanced electro-optical imaging infrared seeker (ImIR) which scans the target area for hostile aircraft, then locks-on for terminal chase. Once the missile "sees" the target, it employs its unique, first of its kind, electro-optical head-seeker and locks on the target. Then the missile switches to a close hunt combat which holds no future to the target.

Most conventional missile designs see targets as dots - a fact which makes it hard for the missile to tell between true or false targets. The Lock Series head seeker literally sees a clear image of the target and background, giving it an incredible advantage over other missiles by authenticating the target, thus reducing the chance of being mislead by counter measures. Using this technology allows the luxury of locking on a target after the launch. The IR aspect of the guidance system as well locks on to the thermal signature of the target. It is able to lock on to the heat from various surfaces not just the engines of the target.

For close-in combat the launcher and vessel’s sensors can give target positional data to the missile beyond the seeker off-boresight and visual limits.

The advanced Electro-Optical Imaging Infra-Red (IIR) seeker provides the missile with a significant target acquisition capability, even in highly cluttered environments with the ability to engage a target in the most severe clutter and countermeasures environment. The missile is software based, allowing for future upgrade.

Engagement of targets beyond the seeker acquisition range is made possible using the “lock after launch” capability with target data provided by the aircraft sensors or a third party.

Secondary Guidance:
The SeaLock missiles make use of a dual mode guidance package similar to the RIM-116 RAM. The secondary guidance package is a passive RF seeker. This seeker allows the missile to not only lock on the image/thermal signature of the target but any RF emissions such as missile targeting radar or communications links. The passive RF seeker allows greater accuracy and ability to ignore counter measures.

This mode also allows the SeaLock to be used in an anti-radar roll, locking on to hostile radar sources.


Warhead
The Lock Series of missiles contains a 11 kg blast-fragmentation warhead. The warhead provides a lethal blast radius of 4 m. The warhead composition contains a Thermite compound that provides an incendiary effect to the fragmentation and helps ensure the destruction of the target. The fusing makes use of a Laser proximity fuse as well as an impact initiated fuse.

Missile Systems
Four Mk-100 Vertical Launching Systems (VLS)
The advanced Mk-100 Vertical Launching System (VLS) can accommodate both existing and future missiles for land attack, anti-ship, anti-submarine and anti-air warfare.

More importantly, the VLS enables all missiles to be on full stand-by at any given time, shortening the ship's response time. The Mk-100 VLS simultaneously supports multiple warfighting capabilities, including anti-air warfare, antisubmarine warfare, ship self-defense, strike warfare, and anti-surface warfare. Mk-100 VLS is a modular, vertical, multi-missile storage and firing system that lets vessels launch significant firepower. The capability of VLS to simultaneously prepare one missile in each half of a launcher module allows for fast reaction to multiple threats with concentrated, continuous firepower.

A deck and hatch assembly at the top of the module protects the missile canisters during storage and the hatches open to permit missile launches. Each of the launch/storage modules is armored to protect the contents and the ship from said contents should a mishap occur. A detonation in the launch/storage cell is directed up blowing off the hatch and not within the confines of the ship. This design makes launchers and missiles resistant to battle damage while safely isolating them from crew and equipment spaces.

The Mk-100 Vertical Launching System (VLS) makes use of a cold-launch system. The cold launching the missiles to a height of about 30-m (where the weapon's main rocket motor sustainer ignites).

The advantage of the cold-launch system is in its safety: should a missile engine malfunction during launch, the cold-launch system can eject the missile thereby reducing or eliminating the threat.

Another advantage of the cold-launch system is its low life-cycle cost of the launching tubes: since the missile's engine ignites outside of the tube, the tube is not subject to extreme heat blast and enjoys a long life span. As missile size grows, the benefits of eject launch increase. Above a certain size, a missile booster cannot be safely ignited within the confines of a ship's hull.

The cold-launch system also adds to the vessels stealth operations. The hot launch exhaust does not come into contact with the vessel and heats exposed surfaces. The headed surfaces can promote detection by Thermal/IR sensors, and rapidly degrades the RAM coating of the vessel.

The maximum accommodating dimensions of each silo/cell is:
Diameter: 860mm
Length: 7.8m

VLS is continually upgraded to incorporate new technology and integrate new missiles. Its modular electronic architecture allows faster, more economical migration to new missile systems by minimizing the need to re-qualify the launcher for every new missile

The Castor class are outfitted with two 64 cell and two 48 Mk-100 Vertical Launching Systems (or VLS) providing 224 cells.

Typical NW Canadian Navy Loadout:
60 x CP-710 Granit cruise missiles
50 x Quadpacks (200) Sea Viper Mk1 SRSAM (Range: 80km; Ceiling: 33km; Speed: Mach 4+ )
50 x SA-N-20 MRAM/ABM (Range: 150km; Ceiling: 27km; Speed: Mach 6)
50 x RIM-174 Standard ERAM (Range: 240km; Ceiling: 33km; Speed: Mach 3.5)

8 x 3M-54 Klub 91RE2 ASWM (Range: 40 km; Speed: Mach 2.0; Warhead: MU90 torpedo)


Torpedo Systems
Two Quadruple Tube NWC Mk-901 Lightweight torpedo Launchers.
The Castor class mounts two Quadruple Tube NWC Mk-901 Lightweight torpedo Launchers flush to the either side of the vessel for the deployment of light weight torpedoes of a diameter of 325mm or less. The Castor vessels in NW Canadian Naval service make use of the MU90 torpedo. Primary purpose is to target and destroy submarines, the torpedoes can also be used against surface vessels to great effect.

The MU90/IMPACT is an advanced lightweight anti-submarine torpedo designed to compete with and outperform the US-built Mark 46 in the anti-submarine role, and the MU90 Hard Kill version for anti-torpedo defense.

Among its many features, the MU90 is capable against any current or perceived threat, including a bottomed stationary mini-submarine, known versions of anechoic coatings and various decoys. It is also capable of launch speeds up to 400 knots, allowing it to be dropped from maritime patrol aircraft flying at high speeds, or rocket-assist launchers. Powered by an electric pump-jet, it can be run at "silent" speeds to avoid giving its location away to the submarine, or "dash" at speeds over 50 km/h. It uses a shaped charge warhead that can penetrate any known submarine hull, especially double hull designs, while remaining just as deadly in shallow waters where conventional warheads are less effective.

Typical NW Canadian Navy Loadout:
36 x MU90 IMPACT torpedoes


Two Dual Tube NWC Mk-801 Heavyweight torpedo Launchers.
The Castor class mounts two Dual Tube NWC Mk-801 Heavyweight torpedo Launchers flush to the either side of the vessel for the deployment of heavyweight torpedoes of a diameter of 650mm or less. The Castor vessels in NW Canadian Naval service make use of the fiber optic-guided DM2A4 Seehecht ("Seahake") heavyweight torpedoes, VA-111 Shkval-2 supercavitating torpedoes(200kt nuclear/Conventional), and 650mm Type 65-76 Heavy Torpedo (100km max range).

Typical NW Canadian Navy Loadout:
12 x VA-111 Shkval-2 supercavitating torpedoes(200kt nuclear) (AS/ASW role)
30 x DM2A4 Seehecht ("Seahake") heavyweight torpedoes (AS/ASW role)
18 x 650mm Type 65-76 Heavy Torpedo (AS role)


Underwater Weapon Systems
Two Killer Dart "Interceptor" Short Range Torpedo Launchers
These launchers are mounted on the sides of the vessel. The "Killer Darts" are interceptor torpedoes that are designed primarily for intercepting and destroying incoming torpedoes, with a secondary function against small submersibles and divers. The launchers mounted between the exterior and interior hulls of surface vessels in retractable mounts. The launchers can only be reloaded in port or by tender ship. The Castor class mounts two launcher systems on either side below the waterline.

Launcher is primarily designed to intercept incoming torpedoes but can be used if pressed, against other vessels, against submarines, and against underwater troops. They have a range of 3000 feet (914.4 meters) and each launcher contains 48 of the 130mm rocket propelled "super cavitating" interceptors. The proximity fuses detonated the enhanced concussion warheads when the target is ineffective range. The detonation is an area effect.


Four RBU-6000 Smerch-2


The RPK-8 Antisubmarine Rocket System is designed to engage submarines, torpedoes and frogmen. It comprises the RBU-6000 Rocket Launcher, antisubmarine rockets, fire control system, and storage, transportation and loading facilities. The Narvick mounts four of these systems in retractable bays (two to either side, bow and stern). The RPK-8 can also function as a short ranged bombardment rocket system for surface or land based targets.

The rocket with underwater projectile is fitted with a HE warhead. The projectile is separated from the rocket as soon as the latter enters the water. The system can fire either unguided or guided projectiles.

Firing data are generated on the basis of target coordinates supplied by the ship sonar. The engagement mode (antisubmarine or anti-torpedo) to be performed by the rocket is pre-set at the fire control system and furnished to the rocket at the launch moment. The fire control system provides all the necessary data on the state of the launchers, mutual position of the host ship & target submarine and generates the firing data. The system transmits the data on the necessary laying angles to the launchers, ensures remote input of burst type & depth to the rockets and the command as to the number of rockets to be fired in a ripple of one, four, eight or twelve firings.

The RBU-6000 rocket launcher is fitted with 12 radially arranged tubes which contains the RGB-60 depth charge rocket. It is an unguided solid propellant projectile with an impact time fuse, which can be switched to impact or impact-time ignition. The maximum firing range is 6000 meters and maximum target submarine engagement depth is 500 meters. The rocket weighs 110 kg which includes a 25 kg explosive weight.

The RBU-6000 Smerch-2 is a 213 mm caliber anti-submarine rocket launcher. It is similar in principle to the Hedgehog system used during the Second World War. The system is fitted to a wide range of surface vessels. It consists of a horseshoe shaped arrangement of twelve launch barrels, that are remotely directed by the Burya fire control system (that can also control the shorter ranged RBU-1000). It fires RGB-60 unguided depth charges. The rockets are normally fired in salvos of 1, 2, 4, 8 or 12 rounds. Reloading is automatic, with individual rounds being fed into the launcher by the 60UP loading system from a below deck magazine. Typical magazine capacity is either 72 or 96 rounds per launcher. It can also be used as a shore bombardment system.

90R Antisubmarine rocket (RPK-8 projectile)
The RPK-8 system is an upgrade of the RBU-6000 system, firing the 90R rocket, which is actively guided in the water. This allows it to home in on targets at depths of up to 1,000 meters. The warhead is a 19.5 kg shaped charge, which enables it to punch through the hulls of submarines. It can also be used against divers and torpedoes. System response time is reported to be 15 seconds and a single-salvo has a kill probability of 0.8. 90R rocket is intended for the homing underwater gravitational projectile delivery to the submarine location point. It can also be used as an anti-torpedo and anti-sabotage weapon. The antisubmarine rocket consists of a propulsion section, a warhead with a separation system and a gravitational underwater projectile.

RBU-6000 were the most widespread anti-submarine rocket launchers in the NW Canadian Navy, used on many ship classes.

Pollux Class Nuclear Guided Battle Cruiser BCGN



The NW Canadian Pollux class Nuclear Guided Battle cruiser (BCGN) of the NW Canadian Next Gen Series of Warships is a highly advanced Nuclear Battle cruiser! Its design allows the ship to operate equally as well as a member or a Task group or as alone combatant. The Pollux 's highly advanced and integrated sensor system gives it a constant feed of information on the world around it, be it on the surface, on land, underwater, in the air, or in orbit. Capable of simultaneously engaging dozens of targets. With proper planning a single Pollux can strike its enemy, by not only gun fire but with subsonic, supersonic, hypersonic and ballistic missile attack. Taking a page from history, the Pollux also can conduct intensive and lethal torpedo attacks from beyond the horizon.

4 x shafts integrated electric propulsion
3 ×NWCOK-650 nuclear propulsion with 4 × GT3A-688 steam turbines
4 × Converteam CPA2 electric motors

Speed: 32 knots

Complement: 350 (Officers and enlisted)

Design
The NW Canadian Pollux class CGN has a conventional hull design with the bow is designed t ride over waves rather than cut through them.

Watertight compartments, insulation, redundancy of vital systems, power distribution, and routing, blast and fragmentation retaining structures provide a very high level of survivability against missile attack and fire hazards. For nuclear chemical and biological warfare protection the ship is subdivided into two gas citadels and a sub citadel.

Requirements for the integrated deck-house EDM is that it is fully EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) shielded with reduced infrared and radar signatures. Measures to fulfill these conditions include an all-composite superstructure, low signature electronically steered arrays, an integrated multi-function mast and low radar and infrared signatures. Constructed of rugged, lightweight composites, the angular deck-house increases stealth by minimizing radar reflectance. The surfaces of the deck-house incorporate all radar apertures and communication antennas, eliminating high-profile masts and rotating antennas.

Protection
The hull material is a sandwich construction comprising a PVC core with a carbon fiber and vinyl laminate as well as multiple layers of Kevlar. The material provides high strength and rigidity, low weight, good shock resistance, low radar and magnetic signature as well as provide a high degree of protection to the ship systems and crew. Layered in the hull material is an electromagnetic absorbing mesh. This mesh serves multiple roles. The first is to absorb EM leakage from the vessel systems to help prevent passive ESM detection of the vessel. Second, and most vital role is the protection of the vessel from EMP effects. The mesh absorbs the EMP energy which is converted to heat and transferred to the below waterline heat sink system where it is dissipated. The mesh will absorb roughly 90 to 98 percent of the EMP effects and will allow the vessel to remain combat functional! Where ever possible, plates of ceramic bonded to Kevlar are in place to add additional protection to vital systems.

The armor scheme of the battlecruisers is quite complex with Nano-crystal steel armor plates of various thicknesses used. Nano-crystal steel by its very nature is three times harder than RHA and thus less can be used giving significant weight savings. The citadel armor was intended to provide an immunity zone against 8 in (200 mm) armor-piercing shells at ranges between 13,000–15,000 yards (12,000–14,000 m) and 34,000 yards (31,000 m). The remainder of the armor was intended to resist 6-inch (150-155 mm) high explosive shells and 500-kilogram (1,100 lb) HE bombs.
Armor:
Belt: 100 mm
Conning tower: 150 mm
Deck: 50 mm
Turrets: 75 mm



Stealth
The design of the ship incorporates stealth features with an emphasis on the reduction of radar cross section, infrared, acoustic, electrical and magnetic signatures.

The design of the NW Canadian Next Gen Vessels minimizes the optical and infrared signature, above water acoustic and hydro acoustic signature, underwater electrical potential and magnetic signature, pressure signature, radar cross section and actively emitted signals.

Water sleeting along the sides, along with passive cool air induction reduces thermal emissions. The thermal signature is further reduced through the use of below water thermal heat sinks that excess heat is vented to. The smart surfaces of the vessels are attempted to be kept at the same temperatures as their environment to reduce or eliminate thermal detection.

To aid in reducing detection by radar, large portions of the vessels above water surfaces have been covered with RAM (Radar Absorbing Material) tiles. The make up of these tiles absorbs Radar energy and does not allow it to return.

Autonomic Fire Suppression System (AFSS)
An advanced automated damage-control system combines sensors, cameras and automated firefighting capabilities to ensure that the Pollux has the fastest possible response time to life- and ship-threatening events. This system improves survivability in both peacetime and wartime while reducing the number of crewmembers needed for damage control. Depending on the section and the extent of damage, the ships can deploy either a water spray/mist system or use a Halon/Nitrogen dump system to quell fires. The ship's construction is very much modular in design with each module being composed of various self contained compartments. These compartments can be automatically or manually sealed off from the rest of the ship and can also be flooded with sea water. This flooding aids in fire control and can be used in the advent of immenent internal explosions to dampen the blasts by using the water to absorb the concussion as well as the water pressure reinforcing the strength of the compartment walls against the explosive force.

Automation
The level of Automation used in the NW Canadian Next Gen Vessels will reduce crew size on these ships. A smaller crew will reduce a major component of operating costs.
Ammunition, food, and other stores, are all mounted in containers able to be struck below to magazine/storage areas by an automated cargo handling system.


Integrated Propulsion and Power System (IPPS)
The NW Canadian Next Gen Vessels are fitted with an innovative integrated electric propulsion system. Historically, electric-drive ships have supplied power to their electric motors using DC, and ship's electrical load, where necessary at all, was either separately supplied or was supplied as DC with a large range of voltage. Integrated electric propulsion seeks to supply all propulsion and ship's electrical load via AC at a high quality of voltage and frequency. This is achieved by computerized control, high quality transformation and electrical filtering.

The NW Canadian Next Gen Vessels are all nuclear powered making use of the NWCOK-650 reactor in various configurations according to hull size.

The NWCOK-650 reactor is the nuclear fission reactor used to power a number of submarines currently in service with the NW Canadian Navy. Its small, highly efficient design was deemed perfect for the power source of the NW Canadian Next Gen Vessels. It is a pressurized water reactor (PWR), using 20-45% enriched uranium-235 fuel to produce 190 MW of power.

The NWCOK-650 reactor(s) provide electrical power at to a high voltage system. The high voltage supply is then used to provide power to advanced induction motors with outputs of 20 MW (27,000 hp) each. Ship's services, including hotel load and weapons system power supplies are transformed down from the high voltage supply to 440 V or 115 V.
The benefits of integrated electric propulsion are:
• The ability to place the electric motors closer to the propeller, thus shortening the shaftline, obviating the need for a gearbox or controllable pitch propellers, and reducing exposure to action damage.
• The opportunity to place prime movers (generators and alternators) at convenient locations away from the shaftline, thus reducing the space lost, while at the same time improving access for maintenance and engine changes.
• The freedom to run all propulsion and ship services from a single prime mover for much of the ship's life, thus dramatically reducing engine running hours and emissions.

The combination of greater efficiency and nuclear endurance, allows for sustained high speed

Each of the shafts drive five bladed variable-pitch propellers. Each vessel is rated at being capable of doing 32 knots.


Command , Control and Communications
The combat system will be based on the total ship computing environment (TSCE) utilizing open architecture, standardized software and commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware.

The ship is equipped with the SEWACO XI combat data system developed by Thales Naval Nederland. The RNIN's Centre for the Automation of Weapon and Command Systems (CAWCS) has developed the software. The system will use asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) network architecture.

The integrated bridge and navigation system consists of multi-function consoles capable of displaying various functions such as Sensor matrix output, electronic chart display and information systems (ECDIS) and NautoConning navigation data which reads and displays in a logically arranged manner and distributes the navigation data.

One of the consoles is dedicated for route planning purposes.

The integrated bridge and navigation system encompasses the ship steering and control equipment, a ring-laser based dual MINS marine inertial navigation system, two data distribution units and a complete set of navigational sensors and meteorological equipment. A redundant laid out Ethernet bus configuration interconnects the multi-function consoles and sensors.

The communications system has a high-capacity digital communications switch, which interconnects the voice and data communications channels. The system provides internal communications or open conference lines and access to external communications with various radio links and land-based networks. The upgradeable high-performance combat system is based on a high-speed data network. The combat system architecture will enable future weapon systems to be integrated into the frigates. The ship's standard external communications include Link 11, Link 16, Link 22, JTID and JSAT tactical data links, allowing full interoperability with allied forces. Internal communications include messaging, conventional and wireless telephony, public address, closed circuit television, and internet and intranet ports.


Total Ship Computing Environment (TSCE)
The TSCE is an Open Architecture design. Designed to bind all the vessels systems together, the TSCE creates a shipboard enterprise network allowing seamless integration of all on-board systems. The network is makes use of the NW Canadian developed OMA Linux OS which is known for its ultra stability, and viral resistance. Multiple embedded single board computers are placed through out the vessel as well as three servers per zone. This allows for redundancy and task/load sharing. Are systems as well as data lines are shielded and armored.

Sensors

RADAR
WODEN-1A Multi-band radar
The vessel makes use of the newly developed APAR/AESA based WODEN-1A Multi-band radar system . This system makes use of an integrated matrix of both active and passive sensors of multiple bands. The system operators in X-band, S-Band, L-band as well as I-band. This is done by the use of banks of multi-band modules that work in conjunction with each other and the signal processing units. The WODEN-1A system can vary its emissions not only in band used but can generate a broad blanket scan as well as generate pencil beams to focus in on targets.

The WODEN-1A provides multi-mission capabilities, supporting both long range, exoatmospheric detection, tracking and discrimination of ballistic missiles, as well as Area and Self Defense against air and surface threats.

For the Area Air Defense and Self Defense capability, the WODEN-1A has increased sensitivity and clutter rejection capability is needed to detect, react to, and engage stressing Very Low Observable / Very Low Flyer (VLO/VLF) threats in the presence of heavy land, sea, and rain clutter.

This system provides high detection and excellent anti-jamming capabilities. The WODEN-1A has a LPI (low probability of intercept) radar operating at I band surface search mode.

The WODEN-1A D band radar provides very long range surveillance while the I band radar providing precise target tracking, a highly capable horizon search capability, and missile guidance using the Interrupted Continuous Wave Illumination (ICWI) technique, thus allowing guidance of 32 semi-active radar homing missiles in flight simultaneously, including 16 in the terminal guidance phase. The combat control system is similar to the old American Aegis system in that detection, identification and engagement can be completely automatic.

The WODEN-1A's L band is a long-range search radar. It is a multibeam radar, which uses multiple antenna elements to simultaneously generate multiple beams by digital beamforming. The beams' vertical directions are controlled electronically, stabilization against the ships movements (e.g. roll) is also done electronically. Horizontally direction is controlled mechanically by rotating the antenna array. The radar is able to detect targets up to 480km away in Extended Long Range (ELR) Mode. WODEN-1A radar is one of the most capable long-range radar in the world for detecting tactical targets, and provides options for low radar cross section ("stealth") target tracking.
Specifications

o Stealth missiles: 85 km
o Fighter aircraft: 400 km
o Patrol aircraft: 600 km
* Maximal numbers of tracked targets:
o Airborne: 1000
o Seaborne: 100
o Radar jamming sources: 32


Sonar
Integrated Undersea Warfare (IUSW)
The IUSW incorporates two types of sonar arrays in one automated system. The high frequency sonar provides in-stride mine avoidance capabilities, while the medium frequency sonar optimizes anti-submarine and torpedo defense operations. The use of sophisticated target algorithms better enables the vessel to engage enemy submarines and, at the same time, minimize crew headcount requirements. The sonar that will be required to achieve this goal includes the following:

Sonar - A dual-band sonar controlled by a highly automated computer system will be used to detect mines and submarines. The arrangement is optimized for "blue water" and littoral Anti-submarine warfare and includes:.
- A hull-mounted mid-frequency sonar (AN/SQS-60)
- A hull-mounted high-frequency sonar (AN/SQS-61)
- A multi-function towed array sonar and handling system (AN/SQR-20)


Optical Sensor Systems
The vessel also has an extensive set of IR and Optical sensor systems. These systems are for the most part installed on the top of superstructure for greater range of view but are also mounted in conjunction with the individual weapons stations to provide additional search, tracking and targeting capabilities.

The primary system are the MSIS electro-optic surveillance and fire control system is fitted on the vessels, which contains an 8–12-micron thermal imager, TV camera and laser rangefinder. These units also contain a new third-generation thermal imager with increased sensitivity and resolution.

To work in conjunction with the MSIS systems, Sirius LR-IRST long-range dual-band IRST long-range infra-red surveillance and tracking sensors are also installed. The Sirius are installed on top of the mast tower, and provides additional horizon search capability against sea-skimming missiles, low flying aircraft, and small surface craft.


COUNTERMEASURES

Passive
The electronic warfare suite is characterized by the latest generation of radar ESM (electronic support measures) and ECM (electronic countermeasures) architectures and implementation of new digital and microwave technologies.

The radar ESM component features very high sensitivity, very high accuracy direction finding and broadband digital receivers. The radar ECM component is based on phased array solid-state technology and features high specific transmitted power, fast reaction, multi-threats engagement capability and complete programmability of coherent and not coherent jamming techniques, due to the implementation of multiple broadband digital radio frequency memory (DRFM).

The NWC APECS II radar detection and jamming system can identify and jam up to 16 threats simultaneously. Detection range is 370km for ships and 93km for aircraft.


Active
The various active countermeasures systems are mounted behind retractable hull hatches to help maintain the stealth features of the vessel. Upon activation the hatches open and the systems in question are deployed.


Four MASS (multi-ammunition softkill) Launchers
NW Canadian Next Gen vessels are equipped with the MASS (multi-ammunition softkill) decoy systems. Each MASS system can launch up to 32 omni-spectral projectiles in a time-staggered configuration against anti-ship missiles and guided projectiles to a range of 4km. The MASS decoy covers radar, infrared, electro-optic, laser and ultraviolet wavebands.


SLAT anti-torpedo system (Two Launch Units)
The SLAT anti-torpedo system consists of a passive sensor for the detection, localization and classification of torpedoes, towed (Curtain hydrophone), a reaction subsystem, for the calculation and verification of evasive action, passive detection, localization and classification of the torpedo launchers and acoustic countermeasures.

Using passive acoustic sensors and advanced algorithms to detect and classify targets, the definition of a response anti-torpedo, and distribution of appropriate countermeasures. SLAT is a fully integrated system that incorporates subsystems: ALERT as acoustic sensors, gaming RATO reaction; CMAT subsystem for countermeasures, which is usually from 2 launchers with 12 tubes each.


NWCDS Sea Porcupine Decoy System (Four Launch Units)
The Sea Porcupine Decoy system is a multiple launch rocket systems developed by NW Canadian Defense Solutions, typically used by ships to launch flares as decoys and chaff. It has a caliber of 120 mm, swivel and elevating, and can also launch rockets with explosives in a radius of 10 km.

The launcher is designed for accurate distribution of false targets thereby providing passive defense for the ship against radar and infrared-seeking missiles, the typical mode of operation (various intervals) include: Confusion (dilution), Concealment, Distraction ; Dump;
Its main features are:
- Possibility to simultaneously load several types of rockets (chaff, IR flares);
- Automatic selection of the rockets to be launched;
- Possibility of repeated engagements, because of the availability of a large number of rockets, loaded in individual sealed containers;
- Automatic control by the ship's electronic warfare suite;
- Full coordination with the active defense systems of the ship - the ability to operate in all weather conditions and NBC (automatic);


Weapon Systems

Guns
Two 155mm NWAC-155 multipurpose twin-barrel gun mounts.

The main guns of the NWC Next Gen Pollux class are two NWAC-155 multipurpose twin-barrel 155 mm naval gun is a versatile artillery system designed and build by NW Canadian Defense Solutions. This is the standard heavy artillery mount on most NW Canadian Destroyers and larger vessels.

This piece of artillery is capable of a very high rate of fire which makes it particularly suitable for defense and attack of surface ships and coastal targets. In addition to its versatility of uses, it is also given by the large quantity of ammunition types. The compact makes it suitable for all medium-sized units to large units.

The main components of the artillery system are a computer-based control system with dual multi-band radar, television and optical target sighting, and a turret-mounted optical sighting unit.

The gun can be operated under fully automatic remote control interfaced to the radar control system, under autonomous control from the sighting unit or can be laid manually.

Range: conventional rounds 30 km
Extended range guided Trident Rounds: 100km-120km depending on round
Extended range guided Heaven's Fist Rounds: 60 km +/- depending on round

Maximum Rate of Fire: 35 rounds/min.

Ammunition: 155mm TRIDENT


The Trident Extended Range Guided ammunition is a follow on development of the Italian VOLCANO rounds. NW Canadian Defense Solutions produce this round in 155mm, 152mm, 130mm, 125mm, 120mm, 105mm, and 100mm calibers. The TRIDENT rounds compliment the NWCDS Heaven's Fist Guided projectiles. The Heaven's fist and conventional rounds carry larger payloads compared to TRIDENT rounds but the TRIDENT in most cases have longer ranges and superior accuracy when its required.

Features: The ammunition is composed of two sections. The component has front canard fins. The front contains the warhead of 15 kg and has 6 lugs. Behind the warhead is the guidance control section which allows the rounds to maneuver to their target. The final section is the boost section containing a solid fuel rocket booster that is initially ignited by the conventional shell propellant charge.

The ammunition will be of 3 types:
- Trident A (ER) - unguided base version that can reach 70 km and can be used against any type of naval, land or air target. The warhead is variable fused allowing it to detonate on contact, moments after penetration or by proximity to get maximum burst effect.

- Trident B (LR) - An anti-ship infrared sensor (IR) guided round that begins to look for the target at a distance of 6 km and a height of 2.5 km. The round can reach 90 km if fired from the barrel of 64 calibers or more. The hardened warhead explodes after having penetrated the hull of the target ship. The rounds have a "kill probability" of 80% with the first blow against a ship the size of a frigate or smaller. Against larger vessels there would be significant internal damage. The warhead contains a termite component that promotes fires within the target vessels.

- Trident C (LR) - fully guided munitions using GPS and IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit). The projectile is fired up to 25 kilometers in altitude where it is headed by the IMU system is constantly updated by the GPS going on at supersonic speed with a constant angle of descent. The last phase of the flight is on target to hit. The range is 100-120 km depending on environmental conditions.

Are planned in the future version of C1 with the addition of semi-active guidance to engage a target illuminated by an observer on the ground or from an aircraft and the version with the addition of a C2 uplinks to update the data on the target . A C3 version is also underdevelopment that makes use of a passive RF seeker that can lock-on to RADAR and communications emissions removing the need to use a much more expensive ARM to neutralize the target.


Ammunition: 155mm "Heavens Fist" Family of Guided Artillery rounds



The Heavens Fist Guided Artillery rounds are extended range guided artillery shells available in both 152mm and 155mm. It is a precise GPS-guided munition capable of being used in close support situations within 150 meters (490 ft) of assaulting troops.

The munition has a range of approximately 40 kilometers (25 mi) to 57 kilometers (35 mi) depending on configuration and the firing artillery piece with a circular error probable (CEP) of around 20 meters (66 ft). The extended range is achieved through the use of folding glide fins, which allow the projectile to glide from the top of a ballistic arc towards the target. The accuracy is achieved through the use of a GPS guidance system. In contrast, standard 155 mm shells have a CEP of 200 meters (660 ft) to 300 meters (980 ft) at moderate ranges.

Heavens Fist can be used in to minimize collateral damage, when complex terrain limits the effectiveness of conventional projectiles, for targets beyond the range of standard munitions, for precise fires within 150 meters (490 ft) of assaulting troops, when firing in a straight line from the launching cannon is limited by terrain, or targets of high value need to be neutralized.

The Heavens Fist comes in many variants

Type 1 High Explosive-Fragmentation
The guided Type 1 High-explosive fragmentation (HE-FRAG) shells are designed to be used against personnel and light material targets, such as trucks and parked aircraft. Upon detonation, a large quantity of metal fragments accelerates to a high velocity. This action damages the target along with the concussion of the detonation.

Type 2 UPW (Unitary Penetrating Warhead)
This guided round is composed of a hardened out case that allows for maximum penetration of hardened/buried targets. The round strikes burrowing into the target then explodes for maximum effect. The precision of he Heavens Fist rounds allow specific bunkers or installations to be targeted. As the blast occurs deep in the target, collateral effects are minimized.

Type3 DPICM (Dual Purpose Improved Conventional Munition)
This is cargo round with 65 Dual Purpose Improved Conventional Munition bomblets. The Cargo round using its guidance system enters it target zone and releases the bomblets. The streamer stabilized bomblets have an armor piercing warhead that can pierce the top armor of most armored vehicles and MBTs. A fragmentation shroud blows apart filling the area with antipersonnel shrapnel.

Type 4 RAD (Remote Area Denial Round)
Cargo round with 1 x POMD-1 anti-personnel mine, 20 x PMD-1 AP pressure mines, 5 x TMD-1 anti-tank mines. The Cargo round using its guidance system enters it target zone and releases the mines that it is carrying.

Type 5 SADARM (Sense and Destroy ARMor round)
Cargo round that contains two autonomous, sensor-fused, fire-and-forget submunitions, which descend over the battlefield on ballutes and attack hardened targets/vehicles with explosively formed penetrator warheads. The submunitions each contain a high-penetration EFP warhead for use against even heavy armored fighting vehicles like main battle tanks. The EFP warhead uses a heavy metal liner. The Cargo round using its guidance system enters it target zone and releases the submunitions. After the submunitions are released parachutes open. While slowly descending, the submunitions rotate, scanning the area below with an infra-red sensor and millimeter wave radar. The sensor system being composed of multiple types of sensor allow the round to be fully effective in every type of terrain independent of weather conditions. When the submunition detects a target, its 1.5 kg LX-14 explosive charge is detonated, to project an explosively formed penetrator that has enough energy to penetrate the thin top armor of most main battle tanks up to a range of around 152 m. If the submunition reaches the ground before it finds a target it self-destructs with a lethal explosive burst.

Type 6 TJ (Tactical Jammer)
This version of the Heavens Fist guided artillery round contains a 3RB30 jammer which set up radio interference to disrupt enemy communications. Steered by its guidance system the shell upon reaching its target zone deploys first a Ballute then a parachute and descends to the ground. Upon landing the Jammer activates. It can jam frequencies between 1.5MHz to 120MHz to a radius of 700m.

Type 7S and Type 7V Special munition
These versions of the Heavens Fist are chemical agent carrier shells. The 7S carries 6.5 lbs Sarin and the 7V carries 6.5 lbs of VX nerve agents in binary forms. The shell contained two canisters separated by a rupture disk. The compartments were filled with the two liquid precursor chemicals for the Binary Nerve Agents. When the shell is fired, the force of the acceleration causes the disk between them to breach and the spinning of the projectile facilitated mixing. The two precursor chemicals react in flight to produce the Nerve Agent in question, and when the shell reaches its target the Agent would be released. Being guided projectiles the placement and deployment of the Agents can be very precise.

Type 8N7 Special munition
This version of the Heavens Fist is a chemical agent carrier shell that contains the Novichok-7 nerve agent that was developed by the old Soviet Union in the 1970s and 1980s. This Agent is one of the most deadly nerve agents ever made, being five to eight times more potent than VX. The guided Heavens Fist shells are the perfect delivery vehicle for this lethal substance able to strike without warning and surgically.

Point Defense Systems
Eight (8) Hurricane Naval Close-in weapon system (CIWS)




The Hurricane Naval Close-in weapon system (CIWS) is a modern naval air defense gun-missile system deployed by the NW Canadian Navy. Two Hurricane CIWS are mounted, one to the fore and one to the aft of the super structure on retractable mounts. Two more Hurricane CIWS are located port and starboard of the superstructure.

It is found on a variety of vessels ranging from patrol boats to aircraft carriers. A combined gun and missile system, it provides defense against anti-ship missiles, anti-radar missiles and guided bombs. The system can also be employed against fixed or rotary wing aircraft or even surface vessels such as fast attack boats or targets on shore.

Its modular self-contained nature allows for easy installation on vessels of sufficient size and mass. The system is a perfect fit for military vessels as well as merchant that lack adequate defense versus not only aerial threats but surface threats as well (such as pirates).

The combination of the missiles and guns provides more comprehensive protection when compared to other CIWS utilizing either missiles or guns only.

Aerial targets include everything with minimum radar-cross-section of 2 cubic centimeters and speeds up to a maximum of 1300 meter/second within a maximum range of 20,000 meters and heights up to 15,000 meters—including all types of aircraft, helicopters, unmanned aerial vehicles, cruise missiles and air-to-ground precision guided weapons. The system is able to defend against stealth aircraft. The combined gun-missile system has an extremely low altitude engagement capability (targets as low as 0 m AGL can be engaged by this system).

The weapon is a modular system comprising a command module and combat modules. The command module detects and tracks threats, distributes targeting data to the combat modules, and interrogates IFF of approaching threats. The command module has 3D target detection radar, and an all weather multi-band integrated control system. Depending on the number of installed combat modules, the system can engage multiple targets simultaneously.

The system radars are capable of tracking not only air targets but also sea and land targets and has an integrated IFF system. Within the command module LCD multi-function and a central computer system greatly decreased the reaction time, single operator operation can be achieved when needed.

The combat modules automatically track targets, using either radar, electro-optronic control system (such as FLIRs) or both, and then engages targets with missiles and guns.

The combat modules are typically equipped with two of 35 mm NWCDS KDA autocannons, fed by a link-less feeding mechanism, and two 6-90S SeaLock missile launchers equipped with 6 ready-to-fire missiles each and fed by a reloading system storing 32 missiles in ready-to-launch containers.

Armament

Cannon
The guns used in the Hurricane CIWS are a pair of 35 mm NWCDS KDA autocannons. Each gun has a firing rate of 550 rounds/min. The guns are 90 calibers (3.15 m (10 ft 4 in)) long, with a muzzle velocity of 1,440 m/s (4,700 ft/s) The 35mm autocannon can take two different ammunition types, and the usual loading is a mix of 350 AHEAD (Advanced Hit Efficiency And Destruction) and 50 FAPDS (Frangible Armor Piercing Discarding Sabot rounds) rounds per gun. Combined rate of fire is 1,100 rounds/min

The AHEAD (Advanced Hit Efficiency And Destruction) ammunition round ejects 152 tungsten projectiles at a predetermined distance, between 40 and 10 m, from the target. A 25-round burst of AHEAD rounds produces 3,800 of these small projectiles to destroy the incoming missile. Cruise missiles can be destroyed at 2.5 km and high speed missiles at 1.5 km range. The round is also quite effective against aircraft, helicopters, small vessels and soft or lightly armored land targets saturating the target area with tungsten cubes.

The system's anti-missile capability is further enhanced by the Hurricane’s CLFS (Closed Loop Fire Correction System) which tracks projectiles all the way to the target. This allows for real-time correction of bias errors in the control system and compensation for atmospheric conditions.

Missiles

CSAM-90S Sea Lock Mk1B Anti-Aircraft/Missile Missile


Design

The Sea Lock Mk1S is based off the revolutionary CAAM-90E Head Lock missile.

The Lock Series are currently one of the most advanced missile systems in the world. . New technologies implemented in the Lock Series give it maneuvering and launching skills unimaginable just few years ago. Instead of talking about certain "killing hemisphere" we are talking about an ability to shoot any target at any angle, including backwards launch. This ability is possible by applying LOAL (lock on after launch) technology. As opposed to LOBL (lock on before launch), that is used in almost all short range missiles (excluding the Lock Series of course) in LOAL mode the one can launch a missile without being locked on the target, by getting the target’s estimated location from the array of sensors from the launcher, the launching vessel, or allied air assets.

The missile incorporates a new dual waveband, high off-boresight imaging seeker, advanced computer architecture, sophisticated IRCCM and flight control algorithms.

The Lock Series’ high speed is achieved by means of a combination of low drag and rocket motor size. By using a 16mm diameter motor, compared with other missiles which use a 127mm motor, the Lock Series has more propellant and can maintain a high speed throughout its flight time.

With a total of eighteen control surfaces and careful design, the resulting missile is supposed to be as maneuverable as air-to-air missiles with thrust vectoring nozzles. This allows the missile to fully maneuver using attained velocity once the motor burns out.


Guidance

Primary
From the moment the missile is launched, its head seeker scans the designated area constantly while it flies in a direct path to the estimated location of the target. The missile features an advanced electro-optical imaging infrared seeker (ImIR) which scans the target area for hostile aircraft, then locks-on for terminal chase. Once the missile "sees" the target, it employs its unique, first of its kind, electro-optical head-seeker and locks on the target. Then the missile switches to a close hunt combat which holds no future to the target.

Most conventional missile designs see targets as dots - a fact which makes it hard for the missile to tell between true or false targets. The Lock Series head seeker literally sees a clear image of the target and background, giving it an incredible advantage over other missiles by authenticating the target, thus reducing the chance of being mislead by counter measures. Using this technology allows the luxury of locking on a target after the launch. The IR aspect of the guidance system as well locks on to the thermal signature of the target. It is able to lock on to the heat from various surfaces not just the engines of the target.

For close-in combat the launcher and vessel’s sensors can give target positional data to the missile beyond the seeker off-boresight and visual limits.

The advanced Electro-Optical Imaging Infra-Red (IIR) seeker provides the missile with a significant target acquisition capability, even in highly cluttered environments with the ability to engage a target in the most severe clutter and countermeasures environment. The missile is software based, allowing for future upgrade.

Engagement of targets beyond the seeker acquisition range is made possible using the “lock after launch” capability with target data provided by the aircraft sensors or a third party.

Secondary Guidance:
The SeaLock missiles make use of a dual mode guidance package similar to the RIM-116 RAM. The secondary guidance package is a passive RF seeker. This seeker allows the missile to not only lock on the image/thermal signature of the target but any RF emissions such as missile targeting radar or communications links. The passive RF seeker allows greater accuracy and ability to ignore counter measures.

This mode also allows the SeaLock to be used in an anti-radar roll, locking on to hostile radar sources.


Warhead
The Lock Series of missiles contains a 11 kg blast-fragmentation warhead. The warhead provides a lethal blast radius of 4 m. The warhead composition contains a Thermite compound that provides an incendiary effect to the fragmentation and helps ensure the destruction of the target. The fusing makes use of a Laser proximity fuse as well as an impact initiated fuse.

Missile Systems
Four Mk-100 Vertical Launching Systems (VLS)
The advanced Mk-100 Vertical Launching System (VLS) can accommodate both existing and future missiles for land attack, anti-ship, anti-submarine and anti-air warfare.

More importantly, the VLS enables all missiles to be on full stand-by at any given time, shortening the ship's response time. The Mk-100 VLS simultaneously supports multiple warfighting capabilities, including anti-air warfare, antisubmarine warfare, ship self-defense, strike warfare, and anti-surface warfare. Mk-100 VLS is a modular, vertical, multi-missile storage and firing system that lets vessels launch significant firepower. The capability of VLS to simultaneously prepare one missile in each half of a launcher module allows for fast reaction to multiple threats with concentrated, continuous firepower.

A deck and hatch assembly at the top of the module protects the missile canisters during storage and the hatches open to permit missile launches. Each of the launch/storage modules is armored to protect the contents and the ship from said contents should a mishap occur. A detonation in the launch/storage cell is directed up blowing off the hatch and not within the confines of the ship. This design makes launchers and missiles resistant to battle damage while safely isolating them from crew and equipment spaces.

The Mk-100 Vertical Launching System (VLS) makes use of a cold-launch system. The cold launching the missiles to a height of about 30-m (where the weapon's main rocket motor sustainer ignites).

The advantage of the cold-launch system is in its safety: should a missile engine malfunction during launch, the cold-launch system can eject the missile thereby reducing or eliminating the threat.

Another advantage of the cold-launch system is its low life-cycle cost of the launching tubes: since the missile's engine ignites outside of the tube, the tube is not subject to extreme heat blast and enjoys a long life span. As missile size grows, the benefits of eject launch increase. Above a certain size, a missile booster cannot be safely ignited within the confines of a ship's hull.

The cold-launch system also adds to the vessels stealth operations. The hot launch exhaust does not come into contact with the vessel and heats exposed surfaces. The headed surfaces can promote detection by Thermal/IR sensors, and rapidly degrades the RAM coating of the vessel.

The maximum accommodating dimensions of each silo/cell is:
Diameter: 860mm
Length: 7.8m

VLS is continually upgraded to incorporate new technology and integrate new missiles. Its modular electronic architecture allows faster, more economical migration to new missile systems by minimizing the need to re-qualify the launcher for every new missile

The Pollux class are outfitted with eight 64 cell and two 48 Mk-100 Vertical Launching Systems (or VLS) providing 608 cells.

Torpedo Systems
Two Quadruple Tube NWC Mk-901 Lightweight torpedo Launchers.
The Pollux class mounts two Quadruple Tube NWC Mk-901 Lightweight torpedo Launchers flush to the either side of the vessel for the deployment of light weight torpedoes of a diameter of 325mm or less. The Pollux vessels in NW Canadian Naval service make use of the MU90 torpedo. Primary purpose is to target and destroy submarines, the torpedoes can also be used against surface vessels to great effect.

The MU90/IMPACT is an advanced lightweight anti-submarine torpedo designed to compete with and outperform the US-built Mark 46 in the anti-submarine role, and the MU90 Hard Kill version for anti-torpedo defense.

Among its many features, the MU90 is capable against any current or perceived threat, including a bottomed stationary mini-submarine, known versions of anechoic coatings and various decoys. It is also capable of launch speeds up to 400 knots, allowing it to be dropped from maritime patrol aircraft flying at high speeds, or rocket-assist launchers. Powered by an electric pump-jet, it can be run at "silent" speeds to avoid giving its location away to the submarine, or "dash" at speeds over 50 km/h. It uses a shaped charge warhead that can penetrate any known submarine hull, especially double hull designs, while remaining just as deadly in shallow waters where conventional warheads are less effective.

Typical NW Canadian Navy Loadout:
36 x MU90 IMPACT torpedoes


Two Dual Tube NWC Mk-801 Heavyweight torpedo Launchers.
The Pollux class mounts two Dual Tube NWC Mk-801 Heavyweight torpedo Launchers flush to the either side of the vessel for the deployment of heavyweight torpedoes of a diameter of 650mm or less. The Pollux vessels in NW Canadian Naval service make use of the fiber optic-guided DM2A4 Seehecht ("Seahake") heavyweight torpedoes, VA-111 Shkval-2 supercavitating torpedoes(200kt nuclear/Conventional), and 650mm Type 65-76 Heavy Torpedo (100km max range).

Typical NW Canadian Navy Loadout:
12 x VA-111 Shkval-2 supercavitating torpedoes(200kt nuclear) (AS/ASW role)
30 x DM2A4 Seehecht ("Seahake") heavyweight torpedoes (AS/ASW role)
18 x 650mm Type 65-76 Heavy Torpedo (AS role)


Underwater Weapon Systems
Two Killer Dart "Interceptor" Short Range Torpedo Launchers
These launchers are mounted on the sides of the vessel. The "Killer Darts" are interceptor torpedoes that are designed primarily for intercepting and destroying incoming torpedoes, with a secondary function against small submersibles and divers. The launchers mounted between the exterior and interior hulls of surface vessels in retractable mounts. The launchers can only be reloaded in port or by tender ship. The Pollux class mounts two launcher systems on either side below the waterline.

Launcher is primarily designed to intercept incoming torpedoes but can be used if pressed, against other vessels, against submarines, and against underwater troops. They have a range of 3000 feet (914.4 meters) and each launcher contains 48 of the 130mm rocket propelled "super cavitating" interceptors. The proximity fuses detonated the enhanced concussion warheads when the target is ineffective range. The detonation is an area effect.


Four RBU-6000 Smerch-2


The RPK-8 Antisubmarine Rocket System is designed to engage submarines, torpedoes and frogmen. It comprises the RBU-6000 Rocket Launcher, antisubmarine rockets, fire control system, and storage, transportation and loading facilities. The Narvick mounts four of these systems in retractable bays (two to either side, bow and stern). The RPK-8 can also function as a short ranged bombardment rocket system for surface or land based targets.

The rocket with underwater projectile is fitted with a HE warhead. The projectile is separated from the rocket as soon as the latter enters the water. The system can fire either unguided or guided projectiles.

Firing data are generated on the basis of target coordinates supplied by the ship sonar. The engagement mode (antisubmarine or anti-torpedo) to be performed by the rocket is pre-set at the fire control system and furnished to the rocket at the launch moment. The fire control system provides all the necessary data on the state of the launchers, mutual position of the host ship & target submarine and generates the firing data. The system transmits the data on the necessary laying angles to the launchers, ensures remote input of burst type & depth to the rockets and the command as to the number of rockets to be fired in a ripple of one, four, eight or twelve firings.

The RBU-6000 rocket launcher is fitted with 12 radially arranged tubes which contains the RGB-60 depth charge rocket. It is an unguided solid propellant projectile with an impact time fuse, which can be switched to impact or impact-time ignition. The maximum firing range is 6000 meters and maximum target submarine engagement depth is 500 meters. The rocket weighs 110 kg which includes a 25 kg explosive weight.

The RBU-6000 Smerch-2 is a 213 mm caliber anti-submarine rocket launcher. It is similar in principle to the Hedgehog system used during the Second World War. The system is fitted to a wide range of surface vessels. It consists of a horseshoe shaped arrangement of twelve launch barrels, that are remotely directed by the Burya fire control system (that can also control the shorter ranged RBU-1000). It fires RGB-60 unguided depth charges. The rockets are normally fired in salvos of 1, 2, 4, 8 or 12 rounds. Reloading is automatic, with individual rounds being fed into the launcher by the 60UP loading system from a below deck magazine. Typical magazine capacity is either 72 or 96 rounds per launcher. It can also be used as a shore bombardment system.

90R Antisubmarine rocket (RPK-8 projectile)
The RPK-8 system is an upgrade of the RBU-6000 system, firing the 90R rocket, which is actively guided in the water. This allows it to home in on targets at depths of up to 1,000 meters. The warhead is a 19.5 kg shaped charge, which enables it to punch through the hulls of submarines. It can also be used against divers and torpedoes. System response time is reported to be 15 seconds and a single-salvo has a kill probability of 0.8. 90R rocket is intended for the homing underwater gravitational projectile delivery to the submarine location point. It can also be used as an anti-torpedo and anti-sabotage weapon. The antisubmarine rocket consists of a propulsion section, a warhead with a separation system and a gravitational underwater projectile.

RBU-6000 were the most widespread anti-submarine rocket launchers in the NW Canadian Navy, used on many ship classes.

Tsunami Class Nuclear Arsenal Ship


Credit and thank you

Wish to thank BDI for the original image and concept from which the Tsunami was derived.

After the analysis of combat data, both tactical and strategic from recent conflicts, the NW Canadian Navy and the POF Naval forces determined that there was a definite need for an Arsenal ship type vessel to strengthen the respective Navy's offensive punch, especially when supporting amphibious operations or "stove piping" operations.

Such a vessel would be capable of launching sustained devastating strikes from a distance with the utmost accuracy. It was also determined that such a ship would be the basis for other vessel types using that hull design. In line with the common hull theory, the vessels would all support a fairly large stern region aircraft faculties and well-deck.

The search was on now for a hull design that would support the required systems, be survival but above all be easily constructable/available. After numerous months of trails, planning, and research the winning design team presented the final concept. The Arsenal ship and its family of designs would be based off an Panamax supertanker hull such as the type used for the Exxon Valdez. These ships are commercially available (thus keeping cost down and speeding build rates), inherently seaworthy, built to high structural standards and possessed by design may damage control properties such as reinforced hull and bulkhead, extra bulkheads, extra watertight compartmentalization as well as additional buoyancy changers and pumps. As well due to the size of the vessels, large numbers of ordinance may be carried and deployed.

An advanced automated damage-control system combines sensors, cameras and automated firefighting capabilities to ensure that the Tsunami has the fastest possible response time to life- and ship-threatening events. This system improves survivability in both peacetime and wartime while reducing the number of crewmembers needed for damage control. Depending on the section and the extent of damage, the ships can deploy either a water spray/mist system or use a Halon/Nitrogen dump system to quell fires. The ship's construction is very much modular in design with each module being composed of various self contained compartments. These compartments can be automatically or manually sealed off from the rest of the ship and can also be flooded with sea water. This flooding aids in fire control and can be used in the advent of immanent internal explosions to dampen the blasts by using the water to absorb the concussion as well as the water pressure reinforcing the strength of the compartment walls against the explosive force.

Automation
The level of Automation used in the NW Canadian Next Gen Vessels will reduce crew size on these ships. A smaller crew will reduce a major component of operating costs. Ammunition, food, and other stores, are all mounted in containers able to be struck below to magazine/storage areas by an automated cargo handling system.

Integrated Propulsion and Power System (IPPS)
The NW Canadian Next Gen Vessels are fitted with an innovative integrated electric propulsion system. Historically, electric-drive ships have supplied power to their electric motors using DC, and ship's electrical load, where necessary at all, was either separately supplied or was supplied as DC with a large range of voltage. Integrated electric propulsion seeks to supply all propulsion and ship's electrical load via AC at a high quality of voltage and frequency. This is achieved by computerized control, high quality transformation and electrical filtering.

The NW Canadian Next Gen Vessels are all nuclear powered making use of the NWCOK-650 reactor in various configurations according to hull size.

The NWCOK-650 reactor is the nuclear fission reactor used to power a number of submarines currently in service with the NW Canadian Navy. Its small, highly efficient design was deemed perfect for the power source of the NW Canadian Next Gen Vessels. It is a pressurized water reactor (PWR), using 20-45% enriched uranium-235 fuel to produce 190 MW of power.

The NWCOK-650 reactor(s) provide electrical power at to a high voltage system. The high voltage supply is then used to provide power to advanced induction motors with outputs of 20 MW (27,000 hp) each. Ship's services, including hotel load and weapons system power supplies are transformed down from the high voltage supply to 440 V or 115 V.
The benefits of integrated electric propulsion are:
• The ability to place the electric motors closer to the propeller, thus shortening the shaftline, obviating the need for a gearbox or controllable pitch propellers, and reducing exposure to action damage.
• The opportunity to place prime movers (generators and alternators) at convenient locations away from the shaftline, thus reducing the space lost, while at the same time improving access for maintenance and engine changes.
• The freedom to run all propulsion and ship services from a single prime mover for much of the ship's life, thus dramatically reducing engine running hours and emissions.

The combination of greater efficiency and nuclear endurance, allows for sustained high speed

Each of the shafts drive five bladed variable-pitch propellers. Each vessel is rated at being capable of doing 20 knots.


Command , Control and Communications
The combat system will be based on the total ship computing environment (TSCE) utilizing open architecture, standardized software and commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware.

The ship is equipped with the SEWACO XI combat data system developed by Thales Naval Nederland. The RNIN's Centre for the Automation of Weapon and Command Systems (CAWCS) has developed the software. The system will use asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) network architecture.

The integrated bridge and navigation system consists of multi-function consoles capable of displaying various functions such as Sensor matrix output, electronic chart display and information systems (ECDIS) and NautoConning navigation data which reads and displays in a logically arranged manner and distributes the navigation data.

One of the consoles is dedicated for route planning purposes.

The integrated bridge and navigation system encompasses the ship steering and control equipment, a ring-laser based dual MINS marine inertial navigation system, two data distribution units and a complete set of navigational sensors and meteorological equipment. A redundant laid out Ethernet bus configuration interconnects the multi-function consoles and sensors.

The communications system has a high-capacity digital communications switch, which interconnects the voice and data communications channels. The system provides internal communications or open conference lines and access to external communications with various radio links and land-based networks. The upgradeable high-performance combat system is based on a high-speed data network. The combat system architecture will enable future weapon systems to be integrated into the frigates. The ship's standard external communications include Link 11, Link 16, Link 22, JTID and JSAT tactical data links, allowing full interoperability with allied forces. Internal communications include messaging, conventional and wireless telephony, public address, closed circuit television, and internet and intranet ports.


Total Ship Computing Environment (TSCE)
The TSCE is an Open Architecture design. Designed to bind all the vessels systems together, the TSCE creates a shipboard enterprise network allowing seamless integration of all on-board systems. The network is makes use of the NW Canadian developed OMA Linux OS which is known for its ultra stability, and viral resistance. Multiple embedded single board computers are placed through out the vessel as well as three servers per zone. This allows for redundancy and task/load sharing. Are systems as well as data lines are shielded and armored.

b]Sensors[/b]

RADAR
OWL-1A Multi-band radar
The vessel makes use of the newly developed APAR/AESA based OWL-1A Multi-band radar system . This system makes use of an intergrated matrix of both active and passive sensors of multiple bands. The system operators in X-band, S-Band, L-band as well as I-band. This is done by the use of banks of multi-band modules that work in conjunction with each other and the signal processing units. The WODEN-1A system can vary its emissions not only in band used but can generate a broad blanket scan as well as generate pencil beams to focus in on targets.

The WODEN-1A provides multi-mission capabilities, supporting both long range, exoatmospheric detection, tracking and discrimination of ballistic missiles, as well as Area and Self Defense against air and surface threats.

For the Area Air Defense and Self Defense capability, the OWL-1A has increased sensitivity and clutter rejection capability is needed to detect, react to, and engage stressing Very Low Observable / Very Low Flyer (VLO/VLF) threats in the presence of heavy land, sea, and rain clutter.

This system provides high detection and excellent anti-jamming capabilities. The OWL-1A has a LPI (low probability of intercept) radar operating at I band surface search mode.

The OWL-1A D band radar provides very long range surveillance while the I band radar providing precise target tracking, a highly capable horizon search capability, and missile guidance using the Interrupted Continuous Wave Illumination (ICWI) technique, thus allowing guidance of 32 semi-active radar homing missiles in flight simultaneously, including 16 in the terminal guidance phase. The combat control system is similar to the old American Aegis system in that detection, identification and engagement can be completely automatic.

The WODEN-1A's L band is a long-range search radar. It is a multibeam radar, which uses multiple antenna elements to simultaneously generate multiple beams by digital beamforming. The beams' vertical directions are controlled electronically, stabilization against the ships movements (e.g. roll) is also done electronically. Horizontally direction is controlled mechanically by rotating the antenna array. The radar is able to detect targets up to 480km away in Extended Long Range (ELR) Mode. WODEN-1A radar is one of the most capable long-range radar in the world for detecting tactical targets, and provides options for low radar cross section ("stealth") target tracking.
Specifications

o Stealth missiles: 45 km
o Fighter aircraft: 200 km
o Patrol aircraft: 300 km
* Maximal numbers of tracked targets:
o Airborne: 500
o Seaborne: 100
o Radar jamming sources: 32


Sonar
Integrated Undersea Warfare (IUSW)
The IUSW incorporates two types of sonar arrays in one automated system. The high frequency sonar provides in-stride mine avoidance capabilities, while the medium frequency sonar optimizes anti-submarine and torpedo defense operations. The use of sophisticated target algorithms better enables the vessel to engage enemy submarines and, at the same time, minimize crew headcount requirements. The sonar that will be required to achieve this goal includes the following:

Sonar - A dual-band sonar controlled by a highly automated computer system will be used to detect mines and submarines. The arrangement is optimized for "blue water" and littoral Anti-submarine warfare and includes:.
- A hull-mounted mid-frequency sonar (AN/SQS-60)
- A hull-mounted high-frequency sonar (AN/SQS-61)
- A multi-function towed array sonar and handling system (AN/SQR-20)


Optical Sensor Systems
The vessel also has an extensive set of IR and Optical sensor systems. These systems are for the most part installed on the top of superstructure for greater range of view but are also mounted in conjunction with the individual weapons stations to provide additional search, tracking and targeting capabilities.

The primary system are the MSIS electro-optic surveillance and fire control system is fitted on the vessels, which contains an 8–12-micron thermal imager, TV camera and laser rangefinder. These units also contain a new third-generation thermal imager with increased sensitivity and resolution.

To work in conjunction with the MSIS systems, Sirius LR-IRST long-range dual-band IRST long-range infra-red surveillance and tracking sensors are also installed. The Sirius are installed on top of the mast tower, and provides additional horizon search capability against sea-skimming missiles, low flying aircraft, and small surface craft.


COUNTERMEASURES

Passive
The electronic warfare suite is characterized by the latest generation of radar ESM (electronic support measures) and ECM (electronic countermeasures) architectures and implementation of new digital and microwave technologies.

The radar ESM component features very high sensitivity, very high accuracy direction finding and broadband digital receivers. The radar ECM component is based on phased array solid-state technology and features high specific transmitted power, fast reaction, multi-threats engagement capability and complete programmability of coherent and not coherent jamming techniques, due to the implementation of multiple broadband digital radio frequency memory (DRFM).

The NWC APECS II radar detection and jamming system can identify and jam up to 16 threats simultaneously. Detection range is 370km for ships and 93km for aircraft.


Active
The various active countermeasures systems are mounted behind retractable hull hatches to help maintain the stealth features of the vessel. Upon activation the hatches open and the systems in question are deployed.


Four MASS (multi-ammunition softkill) Launchers
NW Canadian Next Gen vessels are equipped with the MASS (multi-ammunition softkill) decoy systems. Each MASS system can launch up to 32 omni-spectral projectiles in a time-staggered configuration against anti-ship missiles and guided projectiles to a range of 4km. The MASS decoy covers radar, infrared, electro-optic, laser and ultraviolet wavebands.


SLAT anti-torpedo system (Two Launch Units)
The SLAT anti-torpedo system consists of a passive sensor for the detection, localization and classification of torpedoes, towed (Curtain hydrophone), a reaction subsystem, for the calculation and verification of evasive action, passive detection, localization and classification of the torpedo launchers and acoustic countermeasures.

Using passive acoustic sensors and advanced algorithms to detect and classify targets, the definition of a response anti-torpedo, and distribution of appropriate countermeasures. SLAT is a fully integrated system that incorporates subsystems: ALERT as acoustic sensors, gaming RATO reaction; CMAT subsystem for countermeasures, which is usually from 2 launchers with 12 tubes each.


NWCDS Sea Porcupine Decoy System (Four Launch Units)
The Sea Porcupine Decoy system is a multiple launch rocket systems developed by NW Canadian Defense Solutions, typically used by ships to launch flares as decoys and chaff. It has a caliber of 120 mm, swivel and elevating, and can also launch rockets with explosives in a radius of 10 km.

The launcher is designed for accurate distribution of false targets thereby providing passive defense for the ship against radar and infrared-seeking missiles, the typical mode of operation (various intervals) include: Confusion (dilution), Concealment, Distraction ; Dump;
Its main features are:
- Possibility to simultaneously load several types of rockets (chaff, IR flares);
- Automatic selection of the rockets to be launched;
- Possibility of repeated engagements, because of the availability of a large number of rockets, loaded in individual sealed containers;
- Automatic control by the ship's electronic warfare suite;
- Full coordination with the active defense systems of the ship - the ability to operate in all weather conditions and NBC (automatic);


Point Defense Systems
Two Hurricane Naval Close-in weapon system (CIWS)




The Hurricane Naval Close-in weapon system (CIWS) is a modern naval air defense gun-missile system deployed by the NW Canadian Navy. Two Hurricane CIWS are mounted, one to the fore and one to the aft of the super structure on retractable mounts. Two more Hurricane CIWS are located port and starboard of the superstructure.

It is found on a variety of vessels ranging from patrol boats to aircraft carriers. A combined gun and missile system, it provides defense against anti-ship missiles, anti-radar missiles and guided bombs. The system can also be employed against fixed or rotary wing aircraft or even surface vessels such as fast attack boats or targets on shore.

Its modular self-contained nature allows for easy installation on vessels of sufficient size and mass. The system is a perfect fit for military vessels as well as merchant that lack adequate defense versus not only aerial threats but surface threats as well (such as pirates).

The combination of the missiles and guns provides more comprehensive protection when compared to other CIWS utilizing either missiles or guns only.

Aerial targets include everything with minimum radar-cross-section of 2 cubic centimeters and speeds up to a maximum of 1300 meter/second within a maximum range of 20,000 meters and heights up to 15,000 meters—including all types of aircraft, helicopters, unmanned aerial vehicles, cruise missiles and air-to-ground precision guided weapons. The system is able to defend against stealth aircraft. The combined gun-missile system has an extremely low altitude engagement capability (targets as low as 0 m AGL can be engaged by this system).

The weapon is a modular system comprising a command module and combat modules. The command module detects and tracks threats, distributes targeting data to the combat modules, and interrogates IFF of approaching threats. The command module has 3D target detection radar, and an all weather multi-band integrated control system. Depending on the number of installed combat modules, the system can engage multiple targets simultaneously.

The system radars are capable of tracking not only air targets but also sea and land targets and has an integrated IFF system. Within the command module LCD multi-function and a central computer system greatly decreased the reaction time, single operator operation can be achieved when needed.

The combat modules automatically track targets, using either radar, electro-optronic control system (such as FLIRs) or both, and then engages targets with missiles and guns.

The combat modules are typically equipped with two of 35 mm NWCDS KDA autocannons, fed by a link-less feeding mechanism, and two 6-90S SeaLock missile launchers equipped with 6 ready-to-fire missiles each and fed by a reloading system storing 32 missiles in ready-to-launch containers.

Armament

Cannon
The guns used in the Hurricane CIWS are a pair of 35 mm NWCDS KDA autocannons. Each gun has a firing rate of 550 rounds/min. The guns are 90 calibers (3.15 m (10 ft 4 in)) long, with a muzzle velocity of 1,440 m/s (4,700 ft/s) The 35mm autocannon can take two different ammunition types, and the usual loading is a mix of 350 AHEAD (Advanced Hit Efficiency And Destruction) and 50 FAPDS (Frangible Armor Piercing Discarding Sabot rounds) rounds per gun. Combined rate of fire is 1,100 rounds/min

The AHEAD (Advanced Hit Efficiency And Destruction) ammunition round ejects 152 tungsten projectiles at a predetermined distance, between 40 and 10 m, from the target. A 25-round burst of AHEAD rounds produces 3,800 of these small projectiles to destroy the incoming missile. Cruise missiles can be destroyed at 2.5 km and high speed missiles at 1.5 km range. The round is also quite effective against aircraft, helicopters, small vessels and soft or lightly armored land targets saturating the target area with tungsten cubes.

The system's anti-missile capability is further enhanced by the Hurricane’s CLFS (Closed Loop Fire Correction System) which tracks projectiles all the way to the target. This allows for real-time correction of bias errors in the control system and compensation for atmospheric conditions.

Missiles

CSAM-90S Sea Lock Mk1B Anti-Aircraft/Missile Missile


Design

The Sea Lock Mk1S is based off the revolutionary CAAM-90E Head Lock missile.

The Lock Series are currently one of the most advanced missile systems in the world. . New technologies implemented in the Lock Series give it maneuvering and launching skills unimaginable just few years ago. Instead of talking about certain "killing hemisphere" we are talking about an ability to shoot any target at any angle, including backwards launch. This ability is possible by applying LOAL (lock on after launch) technology. As opposed to LOBL (lock on before launch), that is used in almost all short range missiles (excluding the Lock Series of course) in LOAL mode the one can launch a missile without being locked on the target, by getting the target’s estimated location from the array of sensors from the launcher, the launching vessel, or allied air assets.

The missile incorporates a new dual waveband, high off-boresight imaging seeker, advanced computer architecture, sophisticated IRCCM and flight control algorithms.

The Lock Series’ high speed is achieved by means of a combination of low drag and rocket motor size. By using a 16mm diameter motor, compared with other missiles which use a 127mm motor, the Lock Series has more propellant and can maintain a high speed throughout its flight time.

With a total of eighteen control surfaces and careful design, the resulting missile is supposed to be as maneuverable as air-to-air missiles with thrust vectoring nozzles. This allows the missile to fully maneuver using attained velocity once the motor burns out.


Guidance

Primary
From the moment the missile is launched, its head seeker scans the designated area constantly while it flies in a direct path to the estimated location of the target. The missile features an advanced electro-optical imaging infrared seeker (ImIR) which scans the target area for hostile aircraft, then locks-on for terminal chase. Once the missile "sees" the target, it employs its unique, first of its kind, electro-optical head-seeker and locks on the target. Then the missile switches to a close hunt combat which holds no future to the target.

Most conventional missile designs see targets as dots - a fact which makes it hard for the missile to tell between true or false targets. The Lock Series head seeker literally sees a clear image of the target and background, giving it an incredible advantage over other missiles by authenticating the target, thus reducing the chance of being mislead by counter measures. Using this technology allows the luxury of locking on a target after the launch. The IR aspect of the guidance system as well locks on to the thermal signature of the target. It is able to lock on to the heat from various surfaces not just the engines of the target.

For close-in combat the launcher and vessel’s sensors can give target positional data to the missile beyond the seeker off-boresight and visual limits.

The advanced Electro-Optical Imaging Infra-Red (IIR) seeker provides the missile with a significant target acquisition capability, even in highly cluttered environments with the ability to engage a target in the most severe clutter and countermeasures environment. The missile is software based, allowing for future upgrade.

Engagement of targets beyond the seeker acquisition range is made possible using the “lock after launch” capability with target data provided by the aircraft sensors or a third party.

Secondary Guidance:
The SeaLock missiles make use of a dual mode guidance package similar to the RIM-116 RAM. The secondary guidance package is a passive RF seeker. This seeker allows the missile to not only lock on the image/thermal signature of the target but any RF emissions such as missile targeting radar or communications links. The passive RF seeker allows greater accuracy and ability to ignore counter measures.

This mode also allows the SeaLock to be used in an anti-radar roll, locking on to hostile radar sources.


Warhead
The Lock Series of missiles contains a 11 kg blast-fragmentation warhead. The warhead provides a lethal blast radius of 4 m. The warhead composition contains a Thermite compound that provides an incendiary effect to the fragmentation and helps ensure the destruction of the target. The fusing makes use of a Laser proximity fuse as well as an impact initiated fuse.

Missile Systems
Six hundred and Fifty (650) Mk-200 Heavy Vertical Launch System Silos (HVLSS)
The Mk-200 Heavy Vertical Launch System (HVLS) is a silo based launch system for surface vessels of sufficient size that is based on the launcher silos on SSBNs to store and deploy SLBMs. It is provides storage and launch capability of large sized missile systems that would not fit in more standard sized VLS launch cells. In doing so it provides the vessel in question a larger range of tactical options such as the deployment of ABM, ASAT, ASBM, SRBM, IRBM,SLBMs,large sized cruise missiles if dimensions correspond to the HVLS cells, and packs of seven cruise missiles. As well the system allows for the storage and deployment of vertically launched UAVs.

A deck and hatch assembly at the top of the module protects the missile canisters during storage and the hatches open to permit missile launches. Each of the launch/storage modules is armored to protect the contents and the ship from said contents should a mishap occur. A detonation in the launch/storage cell is directed up blowing off the hatch and not within the confines of the ship. This design makes launchers and missiles resistant to battle damage while safely isolating them from crew and equipment spaces. Each of the silos also has in the event of fire its own independent Halon/Nitogren flood system as well as a water flood system. The entire silo in event of fire can be filled with gas, water or a mixture to ensure control of the fire.

More importantly, the HVLS enables all missiles to be on full stand-by at any given time, shortening the ship's response time.

HVLS is continually upgraded to incorporate new technology and integrate new missiles. Its modular electronic architecture allows faster, more economical migration to new missile systems by minimizing the need to re-qualify the launcher for every new missile

The Mk-200 HVLS makes use of a cold-launch system. The cold launching the missiles to a height of about 30-m (where the weapon's main rocket motor sustainer ignites).

The advantage of the cold-launch system is in its safety: should a missile engine malfunction during launch, the cold-launch system can eject the missile thereby reducing or eliminating the threat.

Another advantage of the cold-launch system is its low life-cycle cost of the launching tubes: since the missile's engine ignites outside of the tube, the tube is not subject to extreme heat blast and enjoys a long life span. As missile size grows, the benefits of eject launch increase. Above a certain size, a missile booster cannot be safely ignited within the confines of a ship's hull.

The cold-launch system also adds to the vessels stealth operations. The hot launch exhaust does not come into contact with the vessel and heats exposed surfaces. The headed surfaces can promote detection by Thermal/IR sensors, and rapidly degrades the RAM coating of the vessel.

The maximum accommodating dimensions of each silo/cell is:
Diameter: 2.2m
Length: 13.5m

The Tsunami class vessels are outfitted with 650 Mk-200 Heavy Vertical Launch System (HVLS) cells/silos.

Typical NW Canadian Navy Loadout:
5x SC-19 ASAT (soon to be replaced in NW Canadian Service by the SC-25 ASAT)
25 x CDF-21D ASBM (soon to be replaced in NW Canadian Service by the CDF-25D ASBM)

70 x Triple packs = 210 CP-700 Granit
50 x CKh-90 ASM/Land Attack (Range: 3000km; Speed: Mach 5+)


Five Mk-100 Vertical Launching Systems (VLS)
The advanced Mk-100 Vertical Launching System (VLS) can accommodate both existing and future missiles for land attack, anti-ship, anti-submarine and anti-air warfare.

More importantly, the VLS enables all missiles to be on full stand-by at any given time, shortening the ship's response time. The Mk-100 VLS simultaneously supports multiple warfighting capabilities, including anti-air warfare, antisubmarine warfare, ship self-defense, strike warfare, and anti-surface warfare. Mk-100 VLS is a modular, vertical, multi-missile storage and firing system that lets vessels launch significant firepower. The capability of VLS to simultaneously prepare one missile in each half of a launcher module allows for fast reaction to multiple threats with concentrated, continuous firepower.

A deck and hatch assembly at the top of the module protects the missile canisters during storage and the hatches open to permit missile launches. Each of the launch/storage modules is armored to protect the contents and the ship from said contents should a mishap occur. A detonation in the launch/storage cell is directed up blowing off the hatch and not within the confines of the ship. This design makes launchers and missiles resistant to battle damage while safely isolating them from crew and equipment spaces.

The Mk-100 Vertical Launching System (VLS) makes use of a cold-launch system. The cold launching the missiles to a height of about 30-m (where the weapon's main rocket motor sustainer ignites).

The cold-launch system also adds to the vessels stealth operations. The hot launch exhaust does not come into contact with the vessel and heats exposed surfaces. The heated surfaces can promote detection by Thermal/IR sensors, and rapidly degrades the RAM coating of the vessel.

The maximum accommodating dimensions of each silo/cell is:
Diameter: 860mm
Length: 7.8m

VLS is continually upgraded to incorporate new technology and integrate new missiles. Its modular electronic architecture allows faster, more economical migration to new missile systems by minimizing the need to re-qualify the launcher for every new missile

The Tsunami class are outfitted with five 64 cell Mk-100 Vertical Launching Systems (or VLS) providing 320 cells.

Typical NW Canadian Navy Loadout:
50 x PJ-10 BraMos ASM/Land Attack (Range: 300km; Speed: Mach 2.9)
50 x Quadpacks (200 Sea Viper Mk1 SRSAM (Range: 80km; Ceiling: 33km; Speed: Mach 4+ )

20 x 3M-54 Klub 91RE2 ASWM (Range: 40 km; Speed: Mach 2.0; Warhead: MU90 torpedo)


One Bow mounted Mk-900 Light Sea Viper Vertical Launching System (VLS)

The Mk-900 Light Sea Viper Vertical Launching Systems (VLS) is a scaled down version of the Mk-100 Vertical Launching System (VLS) and only accommodates the Sea Viper Mk1 SRSAM. The Mk-900 is identical in everyway but size. The Mk-900 is composed of 48 launch cells. The role of the Mk-900 is to provide additional defense against aircraft and missiles.



Torpedo Systems
Two Quadruple Tube NWC Mk-901 Lightweight torpedo Launchers.
The Tsunami class mounts two Quadruple Tube NWC Mk-901 Lightweight torpedo Launchers flush to the either side of the vessel for the deployment of light weight torpedoes of a diameter of 325mm or less. The Tsunami vessels in NW Canadian Naval service make use of the MU90 torpedo. Primary purpose is to target and destroy submarines, the torpedoes can also be used against surface vessels to great effect.

The MU90/IMPACT is an advanced lightweight anti-submarine torpedo designed to compete with and outperform the US-built Mark 46 in the anti-submarine role, and the MU90 Hard Kill version for anti-torpedo defense.

Among its many features, the MU90 is capable against any current or perceived threat, including a bottomed stationary mini-submarine, known versions of anechoic coatings and various decoys. It is also capable of launch speeds up to 400 knots, allowing it to be dropped from maritime patrol aircraft flying at high speeds, or rocket-assist launchers. Powered by an electric pump-jet, it can be run at "silent" speeds to avoid giving its location away to the submarine, or "dash" at speeds over 50 km/h. It uses a shaped charge warhead that can penetrate any known submarine hull, especially double hull designs, while remaining just as deadly in shallow waters where conventional warheads are less effective.

Typical NW Canadian Navy Loadout:
48 x MU90 IMPACT torpedoes


Underwater Weapon Systems
Six Killer Dart "Interceptor" Short Range Torpedo Launchers
These launchers are mounted on the sides of the vessel. The "Killer Darts" are interceptor torpedoes that are designed primarily for intercepting and destroying incoming torpedoes, with a secondary function against small submersibles and divers. The launchers mounted between the exterior and interior hulls of surface vessels in retractable mounts. The launchers can only be reloaded in port or by tender ship. The Tsunami class mounts three launcher systems on either side below the waterline.

Launcher is primarily designed to intercept incoming torpedoes but can be used if pressed, against other vessels, against submarines, and against underwater troops. They have a range of 3000 feet (914.4 meters) and each launcher contains 48 of the 130mm rocket propelled "super cavitating" interceptors. The proximity fuses detonated the enhanced concussion warheads when the target is ineffective range. The detonation is an area effect.


Four RBU-6000 Smerch-2


The RPK-8 Antisubmarine Rocket System is designed to engage submarines, torpedoes and frogmen. It comprises the RBU-6000 Rocket Launcher, antisubmarine rockets, fire control system, and storage, transportation and loading facilities. The Narvick mounts four of these systems in retractable bays (two to either side, bow and stern). The RPK-8 can also function as a short ranged bombardment rocket system for surface or land based targets.

The rocket with underwater projectile is fitted with a HE warhead. The projectile is separated from the rocket as soon as the latter enters the water. The system can fire either unguided or guided projectiles.

Firing data are generated on the basis of target coordinates supplied by the ship sonar. The engagement mode (antisubmarine or anti-torpedo) to be performed by the rocket is pre-set at the fire control system and furnished to the rocket at the launch moment. The fire control system provides all the necessary data on the state of the launchers, mutual position of the host ship & target submarine and generates the firing data. The system transmits the data on the necessary laying angles to the launchers, ensures remote input of burst type & depth to the rockets and the command as to the number of rockets to be fired in a ripple of one, four, eight or twelve firings.

The RBU-6000 rocket launcher is fitted with 12 radially arranged tubes which contains the RGB-60 depth charge rocket. It is an unguided solid propellant projectile with an impact time fuse, which can be switched to impact or impact-time ignition. The maximum firing range is 6000 meters and maximum target submarine engagement depth is 500 meters. The rocket weighs 110 kg which includes a 25 kg explosive weight.

The RBU-6000 Smerch-2 is a 213 mm caliber anti-submarine rocket launcher. It is similar in principle to the Hedgehog system used during the Second World War. The system is fitted to a wide range of surface vessels. It consists of a horseshoe shaped arrangement of twelve launch barrels, that are remotely directed by the Burya fire control system (that can also control the shorter ranged RBU-1000). It fires RGB-60 unguided depth charges. The rockets are normally fired in salvos of 1, 2, 4, 8 or 12 rounds. Reloading is automatic, with individual rounds being fed into the launcher by the 60UP loading system from a below deck magazine. Typical magazine capacity is either 72 or 96 rounds per launcher. It can also be used as a shore bombardment system.

90R Antisubmarine rocket (RPK-8 projectile)
The RPK-8 system is an upgrade of the RBU-6000 system, firing the 90R rocket, which is actively guided in the water. This allows it to home in on targets at depths of up to 1,000 meters. The warhead is a 19.5 kg shaped charge, which enables it to punch through the hulls of submarines. It can also be used against divers and torpedoes. System response time is reported to be 15 seconds and a single-salvo has a kill probability of 0.8. 90R rocket is intended for the homing underwater gravitational projectile delivery to the submarine location point. It can also be used as an anti-torpedo and anti-sabotage weapon. The antisubmarine rocket consists of a propulsion section, a warhead with a separation system and a gravitational underwater projectile.

RBU-6000 were the most widespread anti-submarine rocket launchers in the NW Canadian Navy, used on many ship classes.

Aircraft Facilities.
Two landing areas are located on the fantail aviation deck. Each of the landing areas is equipped with Recovery Assist, Secure and Traverse (RAST) system which allows deployment and recovery in high sea states. The just aft of the landing areas on the flight deck is a Helo In Flight Refueling (HIFR) point. This allows refueling of a helo or VTOL aircraft while it is hovering overhead using a quick disconnect fitting which provides a manually operated emergency breakaway capability.

The hanger can accommodate normally eight medium sized aircraft however normal compliment is less.

Typically a NW Canadian Vessel houses:
2 x CSV-22 Sea Lion ASW V/STOL Aircraft viewtopic.php?ns=1&f=6&t=80610&p=3863669#p3863669
6 x VTOL UAVs (Eagle eye or Cipher II)


Small-craft Facilities
The stern of the Tsunami class contains a well-deck that can four large LCU type landing craft or four LCAC hovercraft. These craft are intended to both aid in the support of the Tsunami but also allow the Tsunami to aid in amphibious operations. Barracks near the well deck area can accommodate 300 to 350 troops.

[United NW Canada]

The POF would like to inquire about outright domestic production rights for the Lynx Armored Vehicle Family of vehicles for domestic (Non Resale) use only.

Thank you for your interest in the Lynx Armored Vehicle Family.

Please understand that there are a variety of models and subsystems involved. Some models are still not even in pre-release state at this time.

We have given consideration to your request though and would be willing to do so and at a reduced price due to your Allied Status with NW Canada and provide you with the specifications and rights to up coming models of the Lynx.
To purchase DPR for the Lynx and its various models we would have to ask $12,000,000,000.00.

This is mainly due to the advanced MMES, up coming EW, and UAV support versions.

We do hope that is price is of your liking and thank you again for your interest in our products.
