Electronic systems
The capability to design and develop electronic systems and related software for various defence and commercial systems is a company success story. Rheinmetall Canada’s electronic systems are used in domains such as C-IED, soldier systems, battle management, training and simulation, and homeland security to name a few. Canada, the United States, the Netherlands, and severall other allies benefit from the company’s innovative and unique solutions for
mission-critical defence or homeland security needs.
Rheinmetall Canada competencies in electronic systems include:
- System analysis, design, integration, test, and qualification.
- Subsystems integration and qualification.
- BMC4I software design and integration:
- Sensor/video integration and processing.
- Electronics design:
- Single board computers.
- Customized interfacing.
- Command and control software design and integration.
SC2PS – Sensor Command and Control Planning Suite
The SC2PS is a real-time, multi-sensor application to exploit data from soldier systems, ground-based sensor sources, tactical aerostats, and unmanned aerial vehicles. It gives commanders a powerful tool for analysis, mission planning, and decision making. SC2PS data is both MIP-compliant and coalition shared data compatible.
- Real-time sensor exploitation.
- Advanced sensor imagery analysis.
- Enhanced situation awareness.
- Sensor planning functions.
- One-step contact report generator.
- Information managment tools.
- ISTAR connectivity.
C-IED solutions
Rheinmetall Canada is an important supplier of Counter Improvised Explosive Devices (C-IED) solutions to the Canadian Forces. Partnered with international experts in the areas of surveillance and demining, we are supplying the Canadian Army with C-IED solutions to protect our soldiers in their overseas missions.
Persistent surveillance on aerostat
The PSA system provides the ability to protect soldiers against IEDs with the provision of persistent wide-area observation, detection, identification, and monitoring at forward operating bases, forward operating positions, or strong points across the spectrum of deployed operations.
The PSA consists primarily of an air vehicle platform (aerostat) and of an electro-optical sensor operating at an altitude of 300 metres above ground. Each PSA also includes a tether, a mooring system, and an operation shelter.
Mine clearing
The Remotely Operated Mechanical Explosive Clearance System (ROMECS) is a tracked, medium flail mine clearance system that is suitable for antipersonnel and antitank mines. The ROMECS is primarily intended to provide an enhanced explosive clearance capability across the spectrum of deployed operations.
Soldier systems
Rheinmetall Canada’s soldier systems use specialized BMC4I software to provide a common operating picture with important mission information, such as friendly positions, enemy positions, and terrain overlaid on tactical maps. Voice and data are rapidly exchanged between soldiers and their commander, resulting in an overall increase in team mobility, lethality, sustainability, and interoperability. Wearable electronics are ergonomic and reduced to a minimum. The easy-to-use interface ensures that soldiers remain focused on the mission.
Rheinmetall Canada is a recognized industry leader in this field and is currently involved in several soldier system programs.
Simulation and training solutions
The Rheinmetall Defence group's expertise in the field of military simulation technology encompasses virtually every training task relating to weapons and command and control systems.
MESO trainer
For the Canadian Navy, Rheinmetall Canada is supplying the Marine Engineering System Operator (MESO) trainer for the KINGSTON Class of maritime coastal defence vessels. The MESO trainer will significantly enhance the Navy’s ability to train engineering personnel, which is a critical factor in vessel operational availability.
LV crew training station
The Land Vehicle Crew Training Station (LV CTS) is an upcoming project for the Canadian Army to set up five vehicle simulation and training centres across Canada. The centres will provide crew commander, gunnery, and driver training for the crews of the LAV III and Close Combat Vehicle (CCV) fleets of the Canadian Army.
ADOS - Air Defence Operations Simulator
The Air Defence Operations Simulator (ADOS) is a simulation and training system developed by Rheinmetall Canada using COTS simulation tools. The ADOS provide the Royal Netherlands Army’s Advanced Ground Based Air Defence System (AGBADS) operators with a classroom-type training system and an air defence operations research tool.
