Re CANSEC….while the juicey stuff is nice…I am curious about the CAF’s ability to absorb, train & house bodies in increased numbers.
In particular in those prev mentioned 3D printed buildings which have the potential to go up a lot quicker, easily allow for increased space between walls which sounds like it would be perfect for a short summer, arctic building season. (Fascinating technology & potentially cheaper)
Space-Based Moving Target Indicator (SB-MTI) project sounds really interesting. I'm hoping we get some global eye air frames sooner than later, and what makes SB-MTI sound so interesting is that it sounds an awful lot like the part of golden dome (am I the only one who's mind goes to showers...?) that the US seems to think makes the E7 irrelevant. Presumably CAF brass is not so sanguine, but I'd love to hear more about what they think the role of space based sensors will be in the future. I'm glad we have our own program that isn't riding the Americans coattails, but I'd like to know more about the alternative. I feel like the recent MDA press release is kind of indicative of where they are going with it, but I expect the actual satellites will be dramatically different.
FLIT! Yes, of course. It will be the Snowbirds replacement as well. Given the rumours around the Snow Turds, it could be that the first FLIT jets would go there, since it will be a while before we have enough CF-35s to transition to. Top Aces would be a useful employer of the same FLIT aircraft. I’d been pushing for the Gripen production to be orientated around these three missions, but having seen the recent articles on the M-346 and the CAE capability and joint venture with Leonardo, I’d have to agree this is the front runner.

Cool. Would that all these come to pass. But just fantasy. Almost none of what you write about will happen. But cool nonetheless 😎
Can anyone shed light on this US P8 incident. Mr. Google didn’t identify anything other than its incident in Hawaii.
