This is mainly directed towards FSTO but if anyone else knows is there any new equipment being considered for the teams?

Okay McGowan you wise-arse, come on down to the ships and you and a couple of killicks can 2-6 heave a ship to buoy shackle from the cable locker to the focsle while the frigate is in irons at the same time as lolling in a 15 ft swell with a beam on sea. 
If you can figure out what I'm saying without looking up on the internet pm me.
As for NBP equipment.
The east coast has trialed transferring info from suspect vessels to the supporting ship using WIFI technology, results have been promising,
We are trialing a new boarding hook that will make boarding vessels a little easier
New coveralls are in the system
New load bearing vests with body armour and positive buoyancy capability are getting procures, but due to the US taking every little bit of Kevlar, we are about a year behind schedule.
We hope to be trialing simunition this summer as a training tool and finally
On the horizon we hope to have dedicated Maritime Security Training centres established and built on both coasts. This should dovetail quite nicely with the CDS's vision of Op area Canada.

You might suggest looking into the RAM system for training purposes, rather than Simmunition. We are going to trial the RAM system shortly and, if it works as expected, incorporate it into our training ASP.
I'll try and find their web page for you. I can't seem to find the link right now. PM me if you're interested.
