Tender details
The National Research Council of Canada seeks to procure a Free Running Submarine Model (FRSM) to enhance submarine hydrodynamic research. This 7m model will enable testing of maneuverability, propulsion, and emergency operations for both current and future Canadian Navy submarines. The FRSM's free-running capability allows for diverse environmental testing, addressing operational and design challenges that conventional captive models cannot. This opportunity is crucial for advancing naval technology and ensuring the effectiveness of Canada's submarine fleet.
