General Dynamics Canada, Ottawa, Ontario, has delivered the first of three deployable fast-time analysis systems for the CP-140 Aurora Maritime Patrol Aircraft. The system allows ground crews immediate access to post-flight analysis of acoustic data, confirming and classifying targets. Ground crews can replay and analyze recorded acoustic information as soon as the aircraft lands, enhancing command-level decision making as target identities are confirmed, classified and characterized in the field. The replay capability, at speeds more than eight times faster than normal, enables mission reconstruction and debriefing and provides the opportunity for on-site crew training, according to company documentation. The system makes up part of the ground equipment for the Aurora Incremental Modernization Program. Internationally, it will be sold under the name Acoustic Replay & Intelligence Exploitation System, or ARIES.
