Harris Gets Subcontract To

Supply HF Equipment For

Canadian Frigate Program

Harris HF Communications

Group of Rochester, N.Y., is under subcontract with Paramax Elec- tronics, Inc. of Montreal to supply

HF communications equipment for the Canadian Navy under the Pa- trol Frigate Program. The HF equipment to be supplied is from

Harris' extensive standard HF com- munications product line, and will include receivers, transmitters, per- formance monitors, and antenna couplers.

The Harris RF-590 receiver, for example, is now the standard HF receiver for the Canadian patrol fri- gate, and will be installed in six new frigates being constructed for the

Canadian Navy. These receivers are manufactured in Dorval, Quebec, at

Harris Farinon Canada, Inc. RF

Communications Canada Opera- tion, as well as at the main plant in

Rochester.

The RF-590 covers the 10 kHz to 30 mHz range, and represents the latest in high-technology advances, with microprocessor functions pro- viding easy operation and adapta- bility. It is a companion to the Har- ris RF-1130-01 1-kw transmitter, also a part of the CPF program. The latter unit features the Harris RF- 1310 solid-state exciter, and is used to cover the 1.5 to 30 mHz frequency band.

Multi-Purpose Freighters

To Be Built By Seebeck

Seebeckwerft AG of Bremerhav- en, West Germany, has received or- ders to build two 3,000-ton multi- purpose freighters for two shipping companies in Leer. The vessels are of a new ship-type developed by the

Seebeck shipyard in conjunction with their clients. The basis of this new construction is the ECO-type vessel, which was developed by See- beck, with three being delivered to date. Three other ECO-type ships are on order from the yard.

The order of the two small multi- purpose freighters follows a recent order for two jumbo-ferry ships for the TT-Saga Line (each of 30,000 gt and with a total value of approxi- mately $95.4-million).

The multi-purpose freighters des- tined for Leer will be strengthened for heavy-lift cargo and will be fit- ted for the carriage of containers.

They will have space for 244 TEUs.

With the combination of the mul- ti-purpose freighters and the ECO- freighters, Seebeck has set foot in a ship-class sphere which was pre- viously the domain of the Rickmers shipyard.
