Biography/Administrative history:

Show detail Hide detail

Canada. Canadian Forces Electronic Warfare Centre : In 1990, the Electronic Warfare Operational Support Centre (EWOSC) project was initiated with the intent of consolidating operational, intelligence and engineering support to the CF EW community. The EWOSC project was envisaged as a long-term, developmental process which would allow existing and future EW and support capabilities to be assumed smoothly and efficiently by a national-level organization. The first phase of the project was designated the Interim EWOSC (IEWOSC) and was responsible for establishing the critical framework from which the remainder of the project would be based.

Under the IEWOSC , a centralized CF EW database was created, the environmental intregrated support stations (NEWC, A3 EWOS & LISS) were established, EW threat analysis was begun and a common logistics and administrative support cell was stood up. The Canadian Forces Electronic Warfare Centre (CFEWC) was established to encompass these capabilities with facilities constructed at the Communication Research Canadal (CRC) - Shirley's Bay Campus. The facility was completed in 1994.

As part of the IEWOSC, CFEWC was mandated with the development of the CF Electronic Warfare Database (CFEWDB). This relational database contains information on a variety of related subjects including emitter parametrics and platform and weapon fitments. It is designed for use by the CF community at large as a single-source reference on EW-related matters. Its development continues with the intention of adding electro-optical and infrared signatures in the near future.
