The magnetic systems installed on new P1 Maritime Patrol Aircraft are operated by the Japan Ministry of Defense (MOD) and Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF).

CAE Defense and Security vice-president and general manager Marc-Olivier Sabourin said the delivery of the MAD-XR systems is part of a multi-year contract to support JMSDF’s fixed wing anti-submarine warfare operations.

“The extended capabilities of this powerful sensor allow it to be used in a wide variety of manned and unmanned platforms providing defence forces with enhanced submarine detection and localisation capabilities under challenging environmental and operational conditions,” he said.

“Our continued commitment to innovation and customer-driven solutions allows CAE to meet the changing needs of the training and operational environments.”
