Well if you're too lax on security you let the enemy see all the traffic you're sending. Its a delicate balance that unfortunately has been tipped too far into the favour of those who are allergic to risk.

Our security folks are scared of the internet and cell phones. Ukraine is running their entire war against a high level cyber actor using AES256 encryption and homebrew apps. That would never be allowed in Canada.

Ultimately, yeah it'll take money. Lots of money. Each A Veh in CA needs about $350K USD worth of radios and a communications suite (replacement of ELAN). Multiply that by a thousand or vehicles, add in installation costs and project management fees and we're pretty dang close to $1B CAD. Now...

The US has bearers that can provide 1080p from helmet cams in a cave in Syria to the situation room. They can fight from the US because they have hundreds of billions in dedicated global bandwidth. We have systems that would barely be considered high speed internet but want the same AI data...

And that data is going to sit at Tunneys or move around the NCR without ever seeing an operation. I really don't think you have any clue about the scope and scale of the problem to move that amount of data outside of permanent infrastructure.

Because they don't understand how complex the bearers, servers and networks are to make something like MSS work. We dont have a trillion dollars of space and terrestrial based links to move data around the battlefield to end up in T59s Leopard 2.

Great software. Thats only a small piece of the equation. How do you move, secure and store all that data? Laymen focus on the shiny end user tool. Signalers focus on the network that runs it, which is exponentially more expensive and complex. Unfortunately our institution is hyper focused on...

Best we can do is let DLCSPM give contracts to GDMS to produce 1990s technology in the 2030s.

298 Lynx KF41s from Rheinmetall are about $5.5B CAD. I think you either grossly underestimate the cost of aircraft or exponentially overestimate the cost of land vehicles. We could fully kit out CA with vehicles and weapons for the same cost as just the F35 purchase.

What do you call something with tons of shiny new toys and no pilots or maintainers to operate them? RCAF.

Nope, its locked.

CA to RCAF after LSVW procurement...

Merged duplicate threads. This can be for all things Globaleye.

If you wake your roommates up at 0400 for 0515 PT, someone is going to shoot you.

Minimum hearing standard for Infantry NCM is H3: Annex E - Minimum Medical Standards for Officers and Non-Commissioned Members - Canada.ca Annex E - Minimum Medical Standards for Officers and Non-Commissioned Members - Canada.ca

Are RCAF DEU items in short supply as well? I remember reading a while back that there was an issue with the fabric being so old it was difficult to source. My assumption is they're using the same stuff for all 3 uniforms in different colours.

Only if required by the base/country you're going to deploy into. I remember NATO required flu vaccines for Kabul around the early 2010s as a base policy for any deploying soldier. I'll also take the time to remind folks that if you want nice things, you can debate the policy not the policy...

Its not a RCAF purchase, not sure why you would get it?

I said competent MCpl, not "hit the minimums MCpl" which is still ridiculously fast at 5 or 6 years as per the new policy (which is just sliding left a year). 8000 people recruited FY 25/26 should not be ready to instruct until FY 33/34. You don't just magically change how competent someone is...

Those instructors are 8 years away for a competent MCpl and 12+ for a Sergeant. We're bleeding those ranks by filling up with Ptes and promoting them to Cpl faster.
