I found short article in MILTECH on the AMPS, a Canadian project for a small scale nuclear reactor for use as air-independent-propulsion in submarines.
Further research turned up a couple of interesting studies, which i attached to this post.
THE AMPS 1000: AN ADVANCED REACTOR DESIGN FOR MARINE...
LOL. Looks like this company didn't shy away from getting a bit creative with the naming scheme, because of course a drone that proudly displays a "SEXBOMB" livery traveling at hypersonic speeds while the surface temperature of its skin raises sounds sexy :D...

When the demand exceeded the capacity of Daimler, Ford Canada, in Windsor Ontario, begun production of a local derivative. The "Scout Car, Ford Mk.I", also called the "Lynx armoured car". Almost identical, it was one foot taller because of the Ford transmission. The Ford engine was more...
Rifles Anti-Tank (Training Pattern)
This is esoteric but I'm looking for more information about an anti-tank training weapon created at Esquimalt, British Columbia in 1941-42. This training device was created by modifying a service rifle to mimic the shape of a Canadian-made Rifle, Anti-Tank...
Didn't really see a thread on this so here we go!
I guess its not so popular because only Canada operates it..

Does anyone have any information on the French design at least? The program was a precursor to the equally ill-fated (non-nuclear) Polar 8 icebreaker program of the 1980s. The only hard info I have on the French proposal at the moment is that the reactor was a CAS (Advanced Series Boiler)...

I checked, no thread for this one.
It was developed by RCA between early 1956 and september 1958 when it was canned. Before and after these dates, ( sigh...) the prefered option was the MX-1179 / MA-1.
While the Sparrow II missile is well known, Astra 1 remains kind of mystery. It has been...
