And ideally that attack is multi axis and multi-speed arriving simultaneously to overwhelm their AMD.

If you're swimming at a beach in Halifax or Victoria isn't punishment enough?

You're the one who brought up the range. If you want to talk about endurance and cost of surveillance, then why would anybody need a cutting edge drone? An MQ-9 does just fine. You can tell a whole lot from Space Based ISR and Pattern of Life analysis. There's a reason most maritime domain...

What exactly are you trying to defend from that you need detailed information on a dark contact 5600 km out? Over and above what satellites will pick up. Basically, you're suggesting that Canada needs to launch drones for a dark target in the Baltic Sea (East Coast) or Kurile Islands (West...

Makes perfect sense if you start with the answer ("Buy more HIMARS launchers.") and work backwards to a scenario justifying your outcome.

Wait till you learn about satellites. That will blow your mind.

I find a lot of Golden Dome is basically repackaging and rebranding of existing capabilities and some new stuff that was in the pipeline. Great way for the USN, USAF and USSF to argue for more funding. You're not the only one. It's a very hot topic. And that debate is public after Operation...

Not saying that won't or can't happen. But that is a discipline issue and a theatre commander or staff officer not knowing and exercising their authorities properly. If that's going to be an issue, do what the RCAF does: specific training for TF commanders and staff to teach them exactly...

Well, the government has lifted the provision on BMD. And there's open talk about joining Golden Dome. So..... Nailed it. Containerized drones or missiles. Or an undetected sub getting within weapons range is the nightmare scenario. Nobody is worried about a large flotilla going undetected...

I'm not sure why you think this. If the LIR deploys somewhere, they'll have their own theatre commander who will have a direct line to CJOC. Some Bn Comdr in Africa isn't going to be calling a Div Comdr in Riga. They'll call Ottawa directly when they need something. Honestly, with light...

It's irrelevant to them. Because HIMARS solves it all. Walk into either RJOC and you'll see a multi department team, RCN, CCG, RCMP, CBSA, focused on watching everything approaching our coasts and figuring out their intent. If they need more information, they'll task collection against it...

Pacific being the key word there. They aren't trying to protect California and Maine with HIMARS coastal batteries. Like I said earlier, there's a role for HIMARS in expeditionary ops. Particularly in places where friendly airfields aren't available. This is not the case in North America...

For the same reason your lot is hyper focused on the last part of the kill chain while the real life job is everything before pushing a button.

Exactly how it's done in real life today. Something the chatterati here would actually know if they have ever been inside an RJOC. Ships move at 20-30 kts. They aren't aircraft. So stuff starts getting tracked days or even weeks out. And maintaining the maritime picture is a major part of...

From my read the Manoeuvre Div (you can use the Cdn spelling if you're so hung up on names) is simply an administrative grouping on paper that is capable of generating a division sized TF. By the way, 1 CAD isn't an admin HQ. They are an operational formation. Literally why the CAOC is in...

I assume CJOC gives up 1 Can Div and maybe even JOSG (goes to the support div). Because there will now be two deployable div HQs (Manœuvre and DoC) and a support div. CJOC goes back to being the folks that book you bad hotel rooms and write you a strat level skinny op order.

You should offer that to the folks who are crashing out over the CA not buying enough HIMARS and apparently think CFD does Force Design based on opinions from here.

Your arguments sound like throwing spaghetti at a wall to see what can justify buying more HIMARS. And nobody buys it. Least of all the folks writing the cheques. Again. We buy airplanes and ships and satellites to deal with a whole lot of threats and provide a full spectrum of response...

I guess y'all will calm down when they rename it from their doctrinal notions to this: 1 Can Div 2 Can Div 3 Can Div (SPT) 4 Can Div (TRG)
