CAE is the world leader in the design, manufacture, and integration of digital magnetic anomaly detection (MAD) systems. The company has been designing MAD systems for over 40 years and has delivered over 2,000 MAD systems and equipment to military forces around the world. Most of these systems have been installed on antisubmarine warfare (ASW) aircraft, including both fixed and rotary-wing aircraft, and used primarily for the detection of submarines. CAE MAD-XR is a MAD sensor with reduced size, weight, and power requirements allowing the MAD system to continue to be used on traditional maritime patrol aircraft, but also be extended to smaller platforms such as unmanned aerial systems (UASs), helicopters and smaller fixed-wing aircraft.
