Mitigating procedures (official or informal) to an underlaying issue are never a good thing. I know of an operational accident where a mitigating action/practice had crept from a training environment into an operational environment, and people died as a result of the ‘ism.’ I’ll take brihard’s...

ELTA makes excellent radars.

😆

No, AI is just programming tbh. It’s not manic, it only does what it’s asked to do, albeit with substantially more flexible programming structure and supporting large language/data models, but programming and reference to databases nonetheless. That’s not the same as a physical...

FTFY 😉

As are all paradigm breaking/challenging concepts. ‘Constellation?’ Are you constraining future multistage capabilities to space only? My posts were clear about blended terrestrial, aerial and space-based capabilities. Yup. Concur. Doppler shift between two separate airborne platforms...

I take it as “if NORAD doesn’t do it now”….then…

Because it would be way too late in the game to get warnings at that point.

To both @GR66 and @Rainbow1910, MQ-9B(V)1 could conceivably be more Tx (and Rx) modes in a multistatic EM/RF surveillance system for sure. GR66, yes, the F-35 absolutely could be other node (Rx or also Tx in peace time or if trying to demonstrate/signal to adversaries then sure, Tx in...

Good question. There will be a lot more sensors in the forms of F-35s, other radar-carrying assets, a west-cost SPY-7 radar, over-the-horizon radar etc. Heck, we could put up a string of heliostats (stationary balloons) with radars has been done in the past. All options to consider.

IFF (in the computer science ‘If and Only If’ sense 🤓) Trudeau’s 31+% increase in the PS had resulted in even a modest correlation in bureaucratic productivity, I would perhaps shed a tear or two, or maybe even squeeze out a sniffle or two, for the PS. But here we are. I bet if Trudeau had...

In fairness to Harper, it’s not like he blew a 2x lead in the polls in 2004. Many people will make the case that it was Jean Chrétien’s deep-seated hatred of Paul Martin Sr. that he took out against Paul Martin Jr. once he was well-retired and on the honorarium-fueled talk circuit, that was...

Quite so. After all, if Albertans can vote NDP, then any province could.

The days of single-aircraft/monostatic radar-based AEW are diminishing. Do you put billions of dollars into that specific capability, or assess the overall requirements space and see what the best solution is, or more accurately will be? This is especially true when one looks at the trend of...

Not holding out hope on this one…

Ok. Better than Elizabeth May.

It’s a moot point. How would Jagmeet Singh have done against Trump?

Mmmm, not ‘nothing’…something, because, you know, he went from leading the polls to failing to even get elected. It seems your ‘pure speculation based on nothing’ assessment is in fact itself based on nothing.
