Other firms involved in the programme include DRS Laurel Technologies, BAE Systems Technology Solutions and Services, General Dynamics C4 Systems, Global Technical Systems, Northrop Grumman Systems, and Serco.

CANES aims to install common infrastructure for several command, control, intelligence and logistics applications, while replacing a range of legacy and standalone computing networks.

Designed to build a modernised C4ISR architecture, the programme will modernise and update shipboard network systems for enhanced interoperability and affordability across the fleet.

CANES will deliver its capabilities within a single complete system, establishing the required infrastructure that facilitates well-timed information exchange among tactical, support and administrative users, as well as applications and information technology platforms.

In addition, the new system will boost operational effectiveness and improve sailors’ on-board quality of life.
