The SIRIUS Long Range Infrared Search and Track System will be deployed aboard the Canadian Navy's Halifax class frigates and the Netherlands Navy's LCF class ships. Canada's portion of the contract is $111.5 million.
Under the contract, Canada will buy 13 systems to equip all 12 Halifax class frigates, plus a land-based combat trainer. The Netherlands is ordering four systems.
