Halifax Class Frigate |
Model test programs are conducted for a wide range of government and naval
vessels from icebreakers to frigates, and include hydroelastic testing of a
modern frigate design. The MDTF (Marine Dynamics Test Facility)
is used for testing submarines, submersibles, and AUV's. Physical model testing
is supported by state-of- the- art numerical analysis,
and full scale trials, and all services are
supported by a history of testing vessels for the Canadian Navy, Coast Guard,
and the U.S. Coast Guard. This experience provides a comprehensive database
of reference material, including the NRC series of frigate hulls.
