NAVIGATION SYSTEM FOR NAVY

N. Van firm wins

$935,300

OFFSHORE SYSTEMS of North Vancouver has won contracts worth $935,300 to build both an integrated navigation system for the Canadian Navy’s diving tender HMCS Cormorant, and two “towfish’’ acoustic sensing devices needed to find lost ships and ob- jects on the ocean floor.

By PATRICK RAYNARD Contributing Weiter

The towfish devices, which are pulled behind a vessel, are capable of detecting lost submarines as well as gathering research information from the ocean floor, Offshore’s manager of technical sales Keith Dunn told the News.

contract

The integrated navigation system on the Cormorant will enable the ship’s officers to know its precise location at all times. The system will also allow officers to control the Pisces submersible, using a configuration similar to that used by the U.S Navy to run its deep sea rescue velicle, Dunn said.

“Similar systems are used by the big tankers as well as ferries on the Great Lakes and the East Coast,’’ Dunn said.

“There are 25 people working at the piant (at 1974 Spicer), so this helps employment on the North Shore,”’ Dunn said. ‘‘This contract wil! help further the technology of systems available from Offshore.’’
