But where I think UXV's could be really useful for Canada would be as widely distributed sensor nodes to detect any ship/subs approaching our coast so that aircraft can take care of them. The bonus would be that UXV's designed as sensor nodes are a lot cheaper than UXVs designed to be...

HIMARS can launch the Precision Strike Missile - Increment 2 PrSM is the LBASM (Land-based Anti-Ship Missile) and is due to be fielded in 2028. Each HIMARS can launch two PrSM

Sweden is procuring a BvS10-based MSHORAD vehicle that uses the same RBS 70 NG missile that our forces in Latvia are using. This set-up is also shown in the video mounted on a variety of light vehicles so could definitely be mounted on a LAV and potentially on the TAPV. The BvS10 platform also...

So if the hostilities with Iran have been terminated, then I presume if they resume it will be considered by the Trump Administration as a "new" conflict (since the original one was already over) so the clock will start all over at Zero again.

I'd love to know how a non-resident made it through the recruiting process and into basic in THREE MONTHS

An interesting combo, but I bet they'd have a hell of a water polo team!

The standard K239 Chunmoo is significantly larger than HIMARS having dual launch pods and is not transportable by C-130 which I think is a significant negative for an expeditionary Army like ours...and for the Arctic/Coastal defence role in particular. However, according to Wikipedia they...

Their big profits are on the content portions of their portfolios....MLSE in particular for Rogers. The infrastructure/service delivery portions are not where they are making the money. You don't propose to eliminate 10,000 positions in your company (excluding...surprise, surprise...the...

More oil on the market means lower prices for everyone. "Drill, Baby, Drill" to maximize volume over price per barrel.

Well the obvious solution to the economies of scale problem of splitting the submarine order is to get 12 of each! ;)

While it would be nice if Airbus had an AEW aircraft (and an MPA) to give us commonality across our heavy fleets, we've got the MRTT's and we've got the P-8's. To me it would make sense to go with the E-7 for the AEW for commonality of supply chains with the P-8's for many of the base...

Curious to know what your thoughts are on this.

As with most issues there are two sides to the story. Bell and Rogers have been spending billions of dollars to replace their legacy copper infrastructure with fibre optics. The CRTC then makes them allow their smaller competitors to use that infrastructure to sell internet services directly...

What if Ontario Shipyards builds CDC's, Orca replacements and some USV's all of which will require replacement down the road. Maybe together with maintenance work on the CDC's it would be enough for them to have a continuous build program like the larger yards?

The key for any Bombardier-based platforms is integrating Air-to-Air refueling into their platforms

So, shipping liquid cargo and bulk cargo are a yes for Arctic shipping but not so much for container shipping. Remind me again what types of things we're thinking of shipping from /through the Arctic? Liquid and bulk cargo or containerized goods?

They are offering two sizes....too big and too small.

This is the very dark place where politics has been heading. The whole "stolen election" narrative and the ideas being pushed that the system itself is rigged against one side or the other could lead to a situation where a significant portion of the population doesn't believe their elected...

Well, if the US wants to "review its position on “imperial possessions,” including the U.K.’s possession of the Falklands near Argentina." then maybe they should ensure that Diego Garcia is given back to France as the original settlers of Mauritius and the Chagos Islands
