to the Royal Canadian Navy leveraging the existing installed base with
the Canadian Halifax-class, Royal Australian Navy, Royal New Zealand Navy
and United States Navy,” said Steve Zuber, vice president and general
manager of DRS Technologies Canada Ltd. “This program will facilitate
interoperability and the ability to share technology and applications,
ensuring that SHINCOM 3100 remains the premier internal communications
system for years to come, and a fleet standard,” Zuber said. “Project Resolve will provide the RCN with an urgently needed and essential replenishment at-sea capability,” said Spencer Fraser, chief executive officer of Project Resolve Inc. “We are extremely proud to have assembled an impressive pan-Canadian supply chain that will feature ‘best-of-breed’ naval technologies developed and produced here at home by Canadian personnel.
