Reduces drag which reduces water over hull noise. Which will improve sonar performance and reduce the subs sound signature. That's just the engineering if what the reduced fi does. @Oldgateboatdriver covered the why They may have gone that way.

Satellite Based Moving Target Indicators, other space based assets. Naval Strike Missile can hit land targets. If we get Korean submarines then you can potentially add Hyunmoo 4-4 Ballistic missiles (500+km range). The Germans are offering torp tube launched NSM. Software is weird. Systems...

Well, Vard is owned by Ficantieri so...

Hydrogen is energetically inefficient in its most "green" form. In its non-green form its a huge GHG producer. There is a reason fuel cells are called "fool cells" by electric car manufacturers. They have good uses for a varied group of applications, I'm not sure trucking is one of the...

RCN was way ahead on this year's ago when I was in Ottawa. RCAF learned quickly to have the same information available when briefing up. CA still doesn't even know how many and what vehicles they have in inventory, let alone full fleet availability and maintenance... When you have the data...

5000 LAV's, 500 Medium Cavalry vehicles, HIMARS, 100 SPGs, 100ish 120mm mortar vehicles, new C7 program advanced a year in timing, MINERVA program, 1000s of new LUV, the TAPV LCAV program and so on. The army is in on it. They are just... as armies are, slower. Their big difference is they...

The CDSEA seems like it will have compass call ambitions as well as the Singint aspects. Really interesting

I assume we're looking at a Global soj in the image. I'm just a little racist with aircraft. A lot of them look the same to me.

HFX carries 16 ESSM2. And only ESSM2 because it uses the Mk52 (?) single missile launchers. A 24 tactical length VLS would be able to carry between 24 SM family missiles and 96 ESSM2. Strike length could carry the whole naval missile family.

Are they doing the crewing model with an eye to the new trade structure? As on PRO we have no clue how the new trade structure will impact us and we already know the model. CDC is cutting so close to the bone there is a high likelihood of getting things wrong with no wiggle room because of...

Canada will have full control. That's a pretty common thing in our purchases.

If they up the VLS to 24 then it's gonna be shootyfax not minifax.

CARB? Cavalry Armoured Brigade???

The new Sea Giraffe 4A has fixed arrays and I believe its going on the new Finish Pohjanmaa class corvette. As does the Germans with their Hendsolt TRS 4D. Actually the Saab had a ship design for the CDC at CANSEC as well. They used the same mast design as for the Pohjanmaa class. The Saab...
