    Replacing the Subs

    Anyone know what our 3 NSS yards think of this project? Has greater crew integration into USN and RN SSNs been studied? At least build a sub rescue ship for the aging Victorias, and im sure allies would appreciate another rescue ship in the Atlantic...

    CMMA - replacing the CP140 Aurora

    Ah, I meant the P-8. I imagined a new Argus based on the P-8 with parts designed and built in Canada. We should maximize domestic industry capability in select areas, ASW being one of them. We're not going to be the only ones to fly this for the next 30 years so lets design some new parts...

    CMMA - replacing the CP140 Aurora

    Reservations are justified, but if done with care, public attention, industry and educational sector input we could develop an industrial niche and value-add to an internationally fielded platform with our most trusted allys, then yes. Invest in a platform, realize the potential to build...

    Minister Anand announces $1.4 billion investment to upgrade Dwyer Hill Training Centre infrastructure

    We only announce this now so it'll be said during a Presidential briefing before he gets here. Sucks that the gov't thinks the only people who care about defence is the Americans and not our own people. They couldn't announce this after the invasion in UKR? not after the evacuation of HKIA when...

    Perhaps a LAV-based ammo-carrier or reloader? Picturing the LAV chassis as a predecessor to the BOXERs swappable mission modules.

    Transition to Municipal Police Force

    In your minds, what should the future of the RCMP look like? With staffing issues chronic and responsibilities growing in a landscape that is increasingly aware of the costs of policing, is it not prudent for the RCMP (and therefore gov't policy) to offload some responsibilities to the...

    C3 Howitzer Replacement

    Has partial public ownership of a factory/company not been brought up? This goes beyond just the C3 issue and should be a part of a larger approach to defence procurement. Provided a decision-maker cares enough to build an in-house solution: Figure out what we currently use enough to make...

    Informing the Army’s Future Structure

    I agree, it just makes more sense at the end of the day to just acknowledge that we're tied to the USA. This new Abrams being teased by GDLS at AUSA 2022 would be a big and quick win for GDLS with another Abrams nation. Buy into the US Abrams maintenance program for a big new facility/employer...

    AOR Replacement & the Joint Support Ship (Merged Threads)

    Aren't these things we should be aiming for? A Multi-Role Support Ship sure sounds useful in a crisis. UK Pursues Interim And Longer-Term Platform Options To Support Littoral Response Requirements The UK has announced that its casualty receiving and auxiliary ship RFA Argus will operate as an...

    Replacing the Subs

    That's a decent summary of the options from this thread. Getting real here, no way we are getting SSNs, if we were, politically we'd have made those plans public and joined hands with Australia. I think our defence dollars would be better spread across multiple arctic-capable platforms instead...
