We should get the P8 if it suits us. My point is if we need more (5th generation battlespace management) we will need more than what Boeing offers. Or desn’t necessary fit in a current an/. I was just speculating on potential P8s weaknesses. That’s alL. Or if we tried to fit to much new...

You may very well be correct. It depends on how imaginative the government and if we can afford both.

Computing power always depends on what you are trying to share. If the P? Is strictly a relay for low latency communication that is quite easy. If the P? Needs to change this and feed information to CF-35s and a CSC plus Ottawa RPAS and even North Bay, the compute power becomes an issue (That is...

Tell them to stop using their microwaves and cordless home phones. Stomp on the idiots with “no it wont hurt you hippy and this is a National Defence matter.“

The amount of computing that will take to synthesize all the information and share it with other nodes in the network would be much higher than purely AWS plane. Like a supercomputer flying around with you. A jet engine can only provide so much power. I don’t know exactly how big the...

It’s a proven platform only if it works for us. The P-8 is only an ASW plane and not what is said above. So it would be holy sh!t modified MOTS. and in the end no longer what the other allies run. Also that the power required to operate all of these systems would be a problem for a 737ng, no...

I was curious about the high bandwidth communications needed for the arctic metioned in the presentation. I first found out about Canada’s project here: https://spacenews.com/satellites-key-to-canadas-arctic-surveillance-strategy/ Which led me to the procurement page for the Enhanced Satellite...

HMCS Resolute

The point i forgot to make is that the power goes from 3000 to 3200-3600 KW

I was looking today for what type and MW the electric motor for the type 26 rating had. The electric motor is rated at 3.4MW. https://www.gepowerconversion.com/news/ge-world-leader-naval-electric-drive-power-and-propulsion This got me to the MTU M53 20v 4000 on the Type 26’s wiki page...

Thank you for your info about the CMS. My thinking is that is either a huge lifeboat or something like this: https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/26899/us-navy-destroyers-and-royal-navy-ships-use-these-big-blow-up-anti-ship-missile-decoys

Never allow elected officials write specifications.

Perhaps CMS 330 is becoming more like Aegis with a Canadian GUI. I say this because of Canada’s renewed interest in missile defense In both politics and military circles. Given Aegis prowess in missile defence.. Political pressure with NORAD...

Is there a difference between “Combat Management System - LMC CMS 330 with AEGIS on the previous infographic”? And “Combat Management System – LMC CTI with AEGIS” on the present infographic?

Do you people in the know have any idea if the MQ-9B will use the STOL capability, if you can indeed answer that.

I desperately hope we buy the MQ-9B. The weapons fit out on the Israeli model might be a pain in the ass using western weapons. Plus the MQ-9B looks way cooler. https://www.ga-asi.com/remotely-piloted-aircraft/mq-9b and a STOL version for less improved northern location...

One difference is it is carried as ISO containers. So it probably fits in with the logistics of the JSS rather than landing crafts hanging on side of the Ship.

No Replacement for Displacement. Floating in 81 tonnes is really cool.

Leaving how complex the change of the main gun may be aside; I can’t imagine the goal is to be able to shoot down UAVs using a direct hit. Instead I was thinking using proximity shells to pepper the UAV with fragments and submunitions. 127/64 compatibility...

My big hope is that more frigates = thorough maintenance. Alas…
