Nearly all those subsidiaries were bought up because of the tech they provided to the main company. very few of our allies Defence companies around the world are not linked to a US Defence Companies. But if those countries said they would no longer do business with the US then things might heat...

Lol successful large, medium and small companies in Canada with President's with out direct experience in the market they operate in Go? Make it even more difficult that are not heavily subsidized by the Federal and Provincial governments. Defence procurement is always a political game. But...

Oh you mean they hired a marketing expert to market their product. Wow so why couldn't a expert in nuclear fission not be their marketing lead. Use advice from from their work force to be successful? Practical application is a check in the box for their next promotion/ postion/appointment. Call...

Canada was always after 6th Gen Fighters and the Tech behind them. We will need to have intern fighters until the tech is their for AI jets. Part of the F35 program was to command and control multiple wingman jets. I believe it was up to 4 per F35, that was a pipedream. Time going forward...

Funny I wonder how a large business/ corporation works when a person who does not know the job runs the show. Advocating is one thing, understanding what you are advocating for is for more important. For most staff Officers it is another check in the box until they move onto another job...

I agree. There are a couple of small companies in Canada doing this. With limited funding from our Government. You need tot right people in charge who know the importance of such work to be calling the shots. How do you figure irrelevant. Lets put a person with little interest and or little...

Lots is the answer, Every Platoon should have this capability, especially in todays environment. Company HQ should have enough to cover a reasonable interlocking coverage. Each Platoon should have their own. Start with 300 systems and go from there. use the old Bison Hulls. TAPV even the...

Companies have been using drones, EW, digital cams and the whole gantlet of various spying equipment for companies espionage for many years. The tech has been out there for a long time. The funny thing is private companies have been protecting themselves from drone attacks (surveillance) for...

They were not startups. These are professional security companies who invented some researched, programed and used EW and drone tech for security before the Military even new they needed it. Way before Ukraine had a thought of drone warfare. It was kind of neat seeing directional jamming so they...

They don't have to, all they have to do is buy them up. I would like to see that on one hand, but I would prefer if foreign companies were not owners of our major infrastructure.

There are a few civilian companies in Canada who have/had invested into EW and Drone tech. At the time the military balked at them. Now we hopefully those companies will pass on their experience and tech from their lessons learned.

Canada has a large enough manufacturing base across all fields to make things actually happen. Why we don't actually makes things happen in defence is the disappointing aspect. The question we should be asking is why we don't make it happen? You can say we don't have the skilled welders to...

The downside of the budget is they do not have the money, expect things to be cut, downsized or ignored. My opinion is they do not expect to be in power for a full term and will hand this mess off to the other party. Then spend 4 years pointing fingers on why the budget does not work.

I would think you might be surprised. Lol if that's your view. What does Cadets and Scouts have that Hockey Canada doesn't...... a direct connection to the military... Both provide direct skills that should be built upon to encourage enrollment either fulltime and or part time military service...

That is one proposal that was made a couple of years ago.
