Partnership to Supply Advanced Naval Surveillance Radars to Canadian Coast Guard

Terma has partnered with Sperry Marine to supply the Canadian Coast Guard with SCANTER 4603 and SCANTER 6002 naval surveillance radars, designed for precision situational awareness, safety, and reliability.

Terma’s SCANTER surveillance radar provides comprehensive surface surveillance and medium to high level air coverage. Its design ensures the detection and tracking of very small targets in extreme northern environments and harsh Arctic weather conditions.

This advanced surveillance radar technology is being constructed at and delivered to Seaspan Shipyards for the Canadian Coast Guard’s Multi-Purpose Vessel (MPV) and Polar Icebreaker Programs.

The vessels intend to play a key role in supporting the Coast Guard’s multiple missions throughout the country, enabling search and rescue, emergency response as well as sovereignty protection.

Per Sørensen, Senior Sales Director, Naval Sales of Terma A/S, stated, “We are thrilled to collaborate with both Seaspan and Sperry Marine to contribute to the production of modern, capable coast guard vessels. Terma’s SCANTER surveillance radar is engineered to meet the highest naval standards and ensure exceptional performance in challenging maritime environments.”

Colin Ross, Naval Sales Director of Sperry Marine, added, “With over 40 years of history in supporting the Canadian Coast Guard, Sperry Marine is uniquely positioned to address the growing demand for state-of-the-art maritime surveillance and support services. This project is not just about technological advancement, but also about fostering long-term operational effectiveness and strategic collaboration. It reinforces our dedication to supporting government partners in delivering secure, innovative maritime solutions.”

Both companies are dedicated to advancing maritime technology, with Sperry Marine specifically focused on providing innovative solutions which address the evolving needs of the global maritime community.
