From Experimentation to Innovation: How CJWC is Modernizing the Canadian Armed Forces
Interview with BGen Chris Horner, Commander 3 Canadian Space Division (3 CSD) and Joint Force Space Component Commander (JFSCC)
The Canadian Joint Warfare Centre (CJWC) plays a critical role in ensuring the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) stay ahead of emerging threats and maintain decision superiority. In June we sat down with Col Chris Horner, who was then the outgoing Commander of the Canadian Joint Warfare Centre (CJWC), to discuss the evolution, current mission, and future initiatives of this pivotal institution. He has since been promoted to the rank of BGen, assuming command of the 3 Canadian Space Division and becoming the Canadian Armed Forces Joint Force Space Component Commander.
Fairbanks Morse Defense Expands with Acquisition of Rolls-Royce Naval Propulsion and Handling Business
Fairbanks Morse Defense (FMD), backed by Arcline Investment Management, is set to acquire the Naval Propulsors and Handling business from Rolls-Royce. This strategic move significantly broadens FMD’s portfolio by bringing in Rolls-Royce’s advanced naval propulsion systems, including cutting-edge propellers, waterjets, and marine handling technologies. These systems are integral to naval operations, aiding in the deployment and retrieval of both manned and unmanned vessels, along with other crucial equipment from naval ships.
A Young Professionals Perspective: The Importance of Marine Industry Involvement in the Development of Naval Architecture Students
When we submitted our design for the Society of Naval Architect and Marine Engineers (SNAME) 2023 Lisnyk Student Design competition in May last year, we had no idea how our ship would stack up against the other entries from around the world.
We had spent the preceding four months doing what Naval Architects do: rack up hundreds of hours performing stability calculations, develop the hull form, run resistance and powering predictions, develop preliminary scantlings, create general arrangement plans, and much, much more. But by the end of the term, we still felt that there were many aspects of the design that needed more attention. Somewhat reluctantly, and in a state of panic after noticing the time, we sent off our final report to SNAME five minutes before the deadline.
