Canadian CESM History

History   > Canadian CESM History 


History of Canadian CESM

This is a compiled history of Canadian Communications Electronic Support Measures (CESM) from it's inception after the First World War to today.

The origin of this work is unknown, at least to me! It has come to me by way of the Communications and Electronics Museum. Someone, thinking the material might be of interest, sent them a copy but the donor did not know it's provenance. Parts of it are recognizable as being from a short history on the Navy's CESM efforts but there has been considerable material added to that. The text for the Navy portion is found in various official publications but it's original source is likewise unknown. If anyone can help identify the person of people who have put the work into developing this history, please let me know at webmaster@rcsigs.ca.

Until the origin of this material is ascertained, and permission for it's use requested, this history is made available on a provisional basis.

Those familiar with the subject will see that the last section of the history is well out of date. In addition, the history is Navy-centric and lacks Army and Airforce details. (Although WW2 Army Sigint histories do appear separately on this site.) If anyone wishes to provide additional information, it will gladly be incorporated.

Enjoy!!!
