MAD-XR - Magnetic Anomaly Detection
MAD-XR - Magnetic Anomaly Detection
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.

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. With the changing state of
warfare, however, there are potentially new applications in the use of MAD technology.
CAE ASQ-252(V) MAD-XR
The latest CAE MAD system is called ASQ-252(V) MAD-XR (Magnetic Anomaly
Detection-Extended Role) and is significantly more compact than previous MAD
systems. CAE MAD-XR is a MAD sensor with reduced size, weight, and power
requirements allowing the MAD system to be extended to smaller platforms such
as unmanned aerial systems (UASs), helicopters and small fixedwing aircraft.
The CAE MAD-XR prototype was successfully flown in 2013 and its performance
matched that of the much larger CAE ASQ-508 MAD system. Following flight
testing the MAD-XR was refined to ensure optimal design for production.
