HALIFAX/IROQUOIS Class In-Service Support

Fleetway is the Class Design Agency and Technical Data Agency for the HALIFAX Class frigates and IROQUOIS Class destroyers. As the Design Agent, Fleetway provides the full range of engineering and technical support services, including the development of engineering changes, the tracking, and management of all design margins, and the conduct of technical and option analysis studies.

As the Data Agent, Fleetway manages the configuration and updates the technical information (publications, drawings, and specifications) for both classes of ships that includes approximately 4,000 ship/system drawings, 80,000 equipment drawings and 4,000 specifications, and 5000 technical publications containing over one million pages of bilingual text and illustrations.

Halifax Class Modernization (HCM/FELEX) Project

Fleetway is responsible to the Department of National Defence for all of the design integration and design change specifications for the Mid-Life Modernization and refits of the twelve HALIFAX Class frigates. This multi-billion dollar project will include the introduction of new equipment and systems into the class such that they can operate for an additional twenty years with technically current and supportable equipment and systems.

This is a complex engineering project involving all of Fleetway’s engineering disciplines ranging from Naval Architecture, Marine, Electrical, and Electronic Engineering and requiring a high level of systems integration and project management expertise.

Combat Systems Integration (CSI) Project

Lockheed Martin Canada is under contract to the Navy to update and replace the Combat Control System, Radars and other equipment onboard the HALIFAX Class frigates as part of the mid-life upgrade and refit. Fleetway has been contracted by Lockheed to undertake all of the installation designs, engineering impact assessments and compartment re-configuration in support of this complex multi-billion dollar project. Fleetway and Lockheed teams work jointly to meet the demanding technical challenges of this project.

Maritime Helicopter Ship (MHP) Modification Project

Fleetway is supporting General Dynamics Canada by providing all of the engineering required to modify the HALIFAX Class frigates to accept the new Sikorsky Cyclone helicopter. The work involves the re-configuration of compartments, the installation design of new equipment and the responsibility of managing the implementation of these configuration changes on the first frigate to be converted.

Future Navy Platform Design Contract (ELMS)

Fleetway, with an industry partner will provide engineering, logistics and management support (ELMS) services to the Navy for its forthcoming naval programs, including the Canadian Surface Combatant (CSC).

Life Cycle Material Management (LCMM) support

Fleetway provides life cycle material management support services to the Navy in specialty disciplines. Fleetway technical specialists work in DND offices or alternately at the Fleetway offices to provide day to day technical support regarding spares holdings, support documentation, repair requirements, operational availability, maintenance data and trouble shooting. These embedded technical support staff work directly for the Navy’s Technical Authority, providing technical expertise and capability.
