The Canadian military is pursuing a different approach to air defence. We are throwing our efforts at ground-based air defence. By that I mean we are developing systems to guard against rockets, artillery and mortar (RAM) munitions, air-to-surface missiles, and remotely-piloted aircraft systems (drones, if you prefer).
Final delivery: 2029/2030 haha.
This is just one layer of air defence. Canada does not have the means to invest in a multi-tired air defence network, but we can add bits to the entire network. Other nations can take care of the aircraft threats (if any).
