Simply just love the IDEas program & the agility and keen eye they have for some of spotting & quickly getting the funding(smaller cheque sizes) to these really neat technologies. Very similar to AFWERX & the Pentagon's DIU.

Trades like IntOp, IntO might very well be on the verge of becoming extinct, as some of these mobile-ready tools shift directly into the hands of Combat arms Company & Platoon Commanders.

The CAF also needs to start rethinking the rebranding or recreation of new MOSIDs/Trades like: Drone Operator, Robotics Specialist, & Swarm Development Specialists amongst others, while they retire some of the out of date trades.

I am skeptical of over reliance on AI for critical systems, because we don't know where the technology is going to end up. A recent example: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/mar/27/number-of-ai-chatbots-ignoring-human-instructions-increasing-study-says

Maybe someone else will have a different perspective, but this sounds kind of alarming to me. I hope the officers who end up using this tech use several heaping scoops of salt when considering the reliability of AI suggested courses of action when real soldiers lives are on the line...

I googled that Larus is a Canadian company and am hoping that its AI tech is sovereign IP.
