    CMMA - replacing the CP140 Aurora

    You may very well be correct. It depends on how imaginative the government and if we can afford both.

    CMMA - replacing the CP140 Aurora

    Computing power always depends on what you are trying to share. If the P? Is strictly a relay for low latency communication that is quite easy. If the P? Needs to change this and feed information to CF-35s and a CSC plus Ottawa RPAS and even North Bay, the compute power becomes an issue (That is...

    Canadian Surface Combatant RFQ

    Tell them to stop using their microwaves and cordless home phones. Stomp on the idiots with “no it wont hurt you hippy and this is a National Defence matter.“

    CMMA - replacing the CP140 Aurora

    The amount of computing that will take to synthesize all the information and share it with other nodes in the network would be much higher than purely AWS plane. Like a supercomputer flying around with you. A jet engine can only provide so much power. I don’t know exactly how big the...

    CMMA - replacing the CP140 Aurora

    It’s a proven platform only if it works for us. The P-8 is only an ASW plane and not what is said above. So it would be holy sh!t modified MOTS. and in the end no longer what the other allies run. Also that the power required to operate all of these systems would be a problem for a 737ng, no...

    RPAS (was JUSTAS): the project to buy armed Medium Altitude Long Endurance (MALE) UAVs

    I was curious about the high bandwidth communications needed for the arctic metioned in the presentation. I first found out about Canada’s project here: https://spacenews.com/satellites-key-to-canadas-arctic-surveillance-strategy/ Which led me to the procurement page for the Enhanced Satellite...

    Canadian Surface Combatant RFQ

    The point i forgot to make is that the power goes from 3000 to 3200-3600 KW

    Canadian Surface Combatant RFQ

    I was looking today for what type and MW the electric motor for the type 26 rating had. The electric motor is rated at 3.4MW. https://www.gepowerconversion.com/news/ge-world-leader-naval-electric-drive-power-and-propulsion This got me to the MTU M53 20v 4000 on the Type 26’s wiki page...

    Canadian Surface Combatant RFQ

    Thank you for your info about the CMS. My thinking is that is either a huge lifeboat or something like this: https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/26899/us-navy-destroyers-and-royal-navy-ships-use-these-big-blow-up-anti-ship-missile-decoys

    Canadian Surface Combatant RFQ

    Perhaps CMS 330 is becoming more like Aegis with a Canadian GUI. I say this because of Canada’s renewed interest in missile defense In both politics and military circles. Given Aegis prowess in missile defence.. Political pressure with NORAD...

    Is there a difference between “Combat Management System - LMC CMS 330 with AEGIS on the previous infographic”? And “Combat Management System – LMC CTI with AEGIS” on the present infographic?

    RPAS (was JUSTAS): the project to buy armed Medium Altitude Long Endurance (MALE) UAVs

    Do you people in the know have any idea if the MQ-9B will use the STOL capability, if you can indeed answer that.

    RPAS (was JUSTAS): the project to buy armed Medium Altitude Long Endurance (MALE) UAVs

    I desperately hope we buy the MQ-9B. The weapons fit out on the Israeli model might be a pain in the ass using western weapons. Plus the MQ-9B looks way cooler. https://www.ga-asi.com/remotely-piloted-aircraft/mq-9b and a STOL version for less improved northern location...

    AOR Replacement & the Joint Support Ship (Merged Threads)

    One difference is it is carried as ISO containers. So it probably fits in with the logistics of the JSS rather than landing crafts hanging on side of the Ship.

    AOR Replacement & the Joint Support Ship (Merged Threads)

    No Replacement for Displacement. Floating in 81 tonnes is really cool.

    Adaptable Strike Frigate

    Leaving how complex the change of the main gun may be aside; I can’t imagine the goal is to be able to shoot down UAVs using a direct hit. Instead I was thinking using proximity shells to pepper the UAV with fragments and submunitions. 127/64 compatibility...

    My big hope is that more frigates = thorough maintenance. Alas…

    Adaptable Strike Frigate

    The PBO CSC report figure 2-1 implies that that the Development of the CSC will drop quickly when Acquisition starts. No doubt that there will be differences between the first few and subsequent ships. But that’s all i see.
