Replacing the Cf-18 Hornet: Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle Or Joint Strike Fighter? TECHNOLOGY DND photo The 20th anniversary of the CF-18 Hornet occurred in 2002. In 2017, it will have served Canada for 35 years, and will thus be one of the oldest serving fighter aircraft in the world. REPLACING THE CF-18 HORNET: UNMANNED COMBAT AERIAL VEHICLE OR JOINT STRIKE FIGHTER? by Lieutenant-Colonel Carl Doyon, CD “[We must be] guided by new fiscal, technological In June 2003, Thierry Gongora, a Department of and strategic realities” National Defence analyst, published a paper in which he presented a dozen options that the government could – The Honourable John McCallum, consider in replacing the CF-18.2 Gongora concluded: 2003-2004 Report on Plans and Priorities “We cannot assume that the follow-on system needs to be necessarily another multi-role fighter... We can The Available Choices no longer assume that the only viable alternative to a manned multi-role fighter is another one.”3 Elinor Sloan, n May 2001, Art Eggleton, at the time Canada’s Minister a professor attached to the National Defence Headquarters I of National Defence, announced a $1.2-billion program to Directorate of Strategic Analysis, observes in a report, modernize the avionics of the CF-18 and thus to prolong its “It may make more sense for the Air Force to focus useful life until 2017-2020.

Spring 2005 ● Canadian Military Journal 33 In the 2003-2004 Report on Defence Plans and Priorities, John McCallum, then Minister of National Defence, remarked: “We can no longer afford to invest equally in the capabilities or structures of the past.”5 He added: “That means being guided by new fiscal, technological and strategic realities to make selective, strategic choices on what capabilities we will invest in, what new concepts and capabilities we will pursue or ignore and what old capabilities we will maintain, reduce or eliminate.”6 All in all, while attaining its objectives, the government is leaving the door open to the study of new technologies that http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/aircraft/x-45-pics.htm could enable it to maximize returns on its investment in defence. The literature The Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle (UCAV) X-45A made its maiden flight on 22 May 2002. is currently almost silent on questions regarding the replacement of the CF-18, but it is now The government therefore considers that it has an ongoing time for this subject to be rigorously debated. From interest in maintaining combat-ready multi-role forces. this perspective, this article will attempt to demonstrate The tragic events of 11 September 2001 in the United States that, when the CF-18 has come to the end of its useful provide eloquent witness to the unforeseeable nature of life, forecast to be between 2017 and 2020, it is not threats and the need to maintain an air force that is certain that Canada will replace its fleet with another viable and capable of defending national and international combat aircraft such as the JSF because the UCAV interests.

After explaining the need maintain such a force. The challenge will be to replace this for an air combat capability, this article will analyze three force with limited resources. With respect to the replacement options that could be at the core of the coming debate. of the CF-18, do we absolutely have to acquire another In the first option, the government would decide to conclude traditional combat aircraft, or is it possible to find a solution an agreement with the United States for them to assume, that is as effective and less costly? from their own stocks of equipment and personnel, the duties now performed by the CF-18 and thereby assure Canada’s First Option: Entrust the Protection of Canada aerial protection. A second option would consist of investing to the United States in a new technology such as the UCAV.

Finally, this article T with the United States whereby their forces would fill will briefly compare the JSF and the UCAV since they the role of the CF-18. A nation may conclude agreements represent, in this writer’s view, the two most promising with other nations to defend common interests, as is the equipment options for the future. case with the North American Aerospace Defence Command (NORAD) the Canadian-American agreement that, since The Need for an Air Combat Capability its creation in 1958, has been the core of Canada’s capability to defend its airspace against any potential aggression. hence the need for air combat capability?

First of all, the the use of American infrastructures and air resources, operational capability procured by a combat aircraft and this could produce economies of scale. The cost of such as the CF-18 has always been associated with defence would therefore be less, an eventuality that would defending the country. Also, as Canada’s foreign policy be in Canada’s best interest. However, such a measure bears witness, security and stability in the world are would weigh heavily against the need to maintain forces prior conditions for the country’s growth and economic capable of having our national laws respected and of development.

From our Music Director Ninety is an interesting age for an orchestra. In the context of a lifetime, the TSO has had a relationship with several generations of Torontonians and guest artists. Within the context of the composers who inspire us and their repertoire which has truly stood the test of time, 90 is quite young.

  • 2018 Election Report Card: Will the Trudeau Government Deliver on Its Raised Expectations?
    2018 ELECTION REPORT CARD: WILL THE TRUDEAU GOVERNMENT DELIVER ON ITS RAISED EXPECTATIONS? By Shane Mackenzie & Jesse Robichaud Three years on from 2015 – campaign strategists are turning their attention to the 2019 federal election. For Prime Minister Trudeau’s incumbent Liberals, the strategic path to re-election will look different than the party’s vault from third place to a resounding pan-Canadian victory last time. The Way Things Were The promise of hope and renewed confidence in government was palpable when voters turned out en masse to elect MPs from Justin Trudeau’s Liberal Party. The mere idea that “better is always possible!” gained traction with an electorate whose expectations had been steadily managed downward by the Harper government’s “no nonsense” decade at the helm. A previously struggling Liberal voter base came to life when the party’s candidates and their leader framed their platform of “real change” promises as a return to openness, evidence-based policy, climate action, large-scale investment, reconciliation, equality, support for families, and diversity. The Way Things Are No good deed goes unpunished, and for Trudeau there will undoubtedly be a political price to pay for raising the bar for what voters should expect from their government. Indeed, the success standard set for Trudeau is higher than in some past elections. And he set it himself. Once the bar has been raised, it’s impossible to lower it again – and it’s also harder to clear it consistently, as we have seen with issues like electoral reform, climate policy, pipelines, and relations with provincial governments.

This paper will test the effectiveness of government messaging during a specific time of high-risk international deployment. The first section is a quantitative analysis from the various forms of public feedback. In order to measure the public’s responses to messaging, comparisons of the responses before and after the government’s release of a message have been evaluated. The second section comprises of a qualitative analysis to determine the correlation, if any, between the results from the public feedback and the government messaging. It is hoped that the findings of this research will contribute to an understanding of how messaging can be used to influence the public’s views and confidence, particularly if is related to a high risk and possibly unpopular activity.

  • Playing by the New Washington Rules: the U.S.–Canada Relationship, 1994–2003
    Playing by the New Washington Rules: The U.S.–Canada Relationship, 1994–2003 JOHN HERD THOMPSON ight years after its publication, the special issue of The American Review Eof Canadian Studies on “The State of the Canada–United States Relationship, 1995” seems almost surreal. Co-editors David Leyton- Brown and Joseph T. Jockel entitled the volume Weathering the Calm; their introduction described a “comfortable and unruffled” relationship. “The big bilateral issues have been dealt with,” they concluded, “and the current big issues are not bilateral ones.” The words “trilateral,” “multilateral,” and even “plurilateral” recurred in the articles that made up the volume. The United States and Canada, editors and contributors agreed, would work together with Mexico in a trilateral North American context, but would work together also in multilateral contexts within the hemisphere and around the globe.1 The lead article in Weathering the Calm was “Promoting Plurilateral Partnership: Managing United States–Canada Relations in the Post-Cold War World,” by John Kirton. “The United States–Canada relationship during the mid-1990s,” Kirton argued, “has become an even more intense, cooperative, and close partnership.” Canada and the United States would work together, he predicted, to “operate, deepen, and broaden…the new NAFTA regime.” The new independent institutions that the two countries created for NAFTA would remove trade and environmental “disputes from high-level political controversy,” and make possible “a more equal balance of beneficial outcomes.”
