OK I understand that anything we do in the Arctic is expensive so somebody give me an Idea that will work, is inexpensive and practical.
According to the posts that I have been reading this is what I have got
1-satellites no too expensive and the orbital mechanics don't work out
2- ground control no too many stations needed to hard to support and too expensive (I'll include any naval system here as LOS becomes a problem here too)
3- airborne control no too expensive, not efficient and not practical
so what do we do. If the government decides that the arctic is a defence priority the only thing we can say is we can't do it. Is that not giving up our claim to the area. I never claimed to have the answers. so somebody lets hear a plan that will work because I'm stummed.
