    Army Reserve Restructuring

    Most of Canada's armouries were built over a 22 year period. 1896 to 1918. Start holding your breath.

    Infantry Vehicles

    I get the sense that a lot of the detection comes from comms with the net, eo/ir and acoustic sensors, all passive. The radar is likely active only for direction.

    But it would be appropriate to retain mental arithmetic, legible writng, map reading and isometric sketching alongside all the high tech stuff. Belts and braces.

    No arguments. The other jobs you mention though don't need to be tied to the production schedule. Assuming there is no re-introduction of the Just In Time silliness. Better quality jobs, better schedules and more redundancy (electric motors, roads, ports and comms) permitting less to do more...

    Logistic Vehicle Modernization Project - Replacing everything from LUVW to SHLVW

    Does it really matter if you can afford to carry 3 UAVs in each vehicle? And possibly fly two offset RRB nodes concurrently?

    Logistic Vehicle Modernization Project - Replacing everything from LUVW to SHLVW

    LAV 2.0, as a concept, is equivalent to the Patria CAV 6x6, which forms one element of the transport flet of other armies alongside tracks of different weights and other specialty vehicles adapted to environments.

    It occurs to me that I have spent 50 years building robots. Specifically robots to process resources. Food is a renewable resource. Dairies, breweries, cheeseplants, surimi plants, slaughterhouses and oat mills are all robots. They are static robots with their operators operating within the...

    Canada moves to 2% GDP end of FY25/26 - PMMC

    So we need to free up people to change but we can't free up people until we change? PS as a "consultant" I am not a fan of bringing in consultants, not unless they have shop floor experience. Where new technology is being debated the people learning should be the people that will use it.

    GBAD - The return of 'FOBS'

    Only if you are considering that one sytem in isolation. System capabilities will always change overtime so the questions become ones of "where are the gaps in coverage?" and "how much overlap do the deployed systems provide?". Or put another way, is the enemy going to run out of targets to...

    Canada moves to 2% GDP end of FY25/26 - PMMC

    Assume that the 5% estimate of what was required to defend NATO and maintain the liberal order was based on existing technologies and perceived capabilities of our enemies. What happens if technology reduces costs? What happens if the financial burden swings from sustaining large numbers of...
