  • After graduating from Royal Military College in 1990 with a Degree in Engineering Physics, Trent trained with the Canadian Navy to be a Combat Systems Engineer. His training included two semesters at the Technical University of Nova Scotia in an intensive Electrical Engineering upgrading program followed by Combat Systems Engineering applications training and a year aboard HMCS MONTREAL. Following HMCS MONTREAL Trent’s career path focussed on combat systems software development and support including periods of time spent performing submarine combat system software maintenance with Fleet Software Support Center, CPF CCS maintenance with Lockheed Martin Canada, and acting as a member of the Software Maintenance and Review Team with Maritime Command. In the summer of 1999 he accepted a systems engineering position with MacDonald Dettwiler’s Halifax Office. At MDA Trent was involved with a number of projects, most involving system and software development and integration. The majority of Trent’s time was spent as Technical Lead/Project Engineer/Project Manager on projects involving the Ferret Small Arms Detection and Localization System, a free-air acoustic system developed with DRDC ValCartier. Over the course of seven years, Trent was primarily responsible for system design, development, integration, test, and field trial support. In early 2005, 13 Ferret systems were delivered to the Canadian Forces for use on Coyote Light Armoured Vehicles in Afghanistan. In February of 2006 Trent took a new role as a systems engineer at General Dynamics Halifax with the Systems Test Bed group working at DRDC Atlantic. With that group he participated in the June 2006 BJ06 trial at CFMETR, implemented STB interfaces to DASM and SSTD towed arrays, participated in the September 2006 CFAV Quest trial Q299, implemented an STB interface to the CPF Combat Control Software, was a software lead for the torpedo defence project and provided support of the DRDC Technical Insertion initiative through development and introduction of STB system lifecycle support procedures and documentation. In August of 2008 Trent joined JASCO as a systems and software engineer. His role with JASCO is to define and implement our distributed real-time processing system for acoustic data processing.
