The system helps automatically detect moving targets such as vehicles, vessels and dismounts on the ground, as well as supporting wide-area surveillance tasks.
The CP-140 Aurora, operated by the Canadian Forces Air Command, is primarily used in coastal surveillance and sovereignty patrols.
The system will improve the aircraft’s operational capabilities and will enhance situational awareness capabilities of Canadian forces for domestic and international surveillance.
