I don't talk about the RCAF a lot here, not due to any lack of interest but because there simply isn’t a lot for someone like me to talk about that deserves a full discussion.
I agree with you Noah and favor the Global proponent for all the reasons you stated!
This acquisition provides an organic, high-latitude AEW layer that fills the low-altitude cruise-missile ISR gap or pop-up threats that ground OTHR and SPY-7 cannot see and would feed tracks into NORAD SHIELD’s cloud C2. I love the multi-domain potential capability of Globaleye - air, sea and land C2/ISR. The platforms limitations vs. E7 could be mitigated with LEOsat upgrades (which we need to do anyways) - providing theatre wide eyes and C2. I assume this architecture is being planned with the RCAF's 3 Canadian Space Division...
