Observations of the SNR G 347.3-0.5 with H.E.S.S. in 2004 provide the deepest view so far into the very high energy (VHE, E > 10^11 eV) gamma-ray emission of any part of the Galactic Plane. Exploiting the wide (5 degree) field of view of H.E.S.S. we find evidence for gamma-ray emission from both the SNRs making up the CTB 37 supernova remnant complex. The detected gamma-ray emission provides direct evidence for the existence of high energy accelerated particles in these SNRs. Whilst this region is well studied at radio wavelengths, the available X-ray data is inadequate to map the expected synchrotron emission of the SNR shells. We propose to exploit the excellent sensitivity and angular resolution of Chandra to map the non-thermal emission of these twin gamma-ray SNRs.
