RCN Anti Drone Weapon

[Stoker]

Looks like the RCN wants to make an example of the micro drones buzzing the dockyards.

What is the ANCU? Is that NTOGs latest nickname?

Sort of?

With the coming of Aegis and F35s.Canada has to significantly increase security at its naval and airbases (and likely ammo bases as well).

RCAF is looking at a COA which is the creation of an RCAF regiment (see UK RAF regiment or US Air Field Security for examples).

The RCN has to do similar. So NTOG, NST and other orgs with UAV and Counter UAV are being rolled in together. This is likely setting the groundwork for the significant security changes. Significant like, Counter drone, armed sentries, a QRF with armoured security vehicles (TAPV or lower) armed RHIBs in the harbour, defensive positions, mortars and machine guns.

More importantly it stabilizes the funding of these various projects and orgs, provides a proper chain of command with a seat at the table of the decision makers.

This may... may... lead to the creation of Naval Infantry for the task. Not amphib forces but Naval Infantry that do security tasks at sea or ashore. Of note Naval Infantry in Canada go all the way back to Quebecois pre Plains of Abraham.

Hey! Don’t you know that pre-1867 has no historical revelence to Canada?

Interesting what you said about bases, CFB Halifax is open base again. Walk or drive on in, no security.

It’ll be interesting to see how CAF somehow expands to add a Bn- of RCN force protection, and a (2x?) Bn+ for RCAF. I can’t see how this gets done without pillaging the combat arms, yet we’re also at a high tempo of rotational CBTA deployments to Eastern Europe. But without the Force Pro, CAF simply won’t get access to some of our kit.

RCAF probably needs to gets its first couple Force Pro companies up and running sooner; RCN likely has more time due to procurement lengths. But will they use it effectively and build the capability in a timely manner?

I’m also wondering if CAF will create some sort of new blended-blue ‘security forces’ trade or something.

Not CFB Halifax but Dockyard, and wherever they have Aegis traing or testing facilities. So Harlen point is probably going to be the test drive for this.

This is going to be a 5-6 year plan I'm sure so pers and plan will have time to adjust. US won't allow you to have the tech if you don't have the security.
