    Domestic and Arctic Mobility Enhancement Project

    Plane crash, satellite, foreign incursion, (from most to less likely). Taking ownership almost demands you physically are able to move about on a regular basis at any time doesn't it?

    Domestic and Arctic Mobility Enhancement Project

    (I ask for patience as I try to mission plan an overland maneuver in the arctic. :LOL:) I realize that each has it's own cache in quantities for civilian use, but you're restricting your resupply points to the coasts which for arguments sake are more vulnerable and not in the interior. On the...

    Domestic and Arctic Mobility Enhancement Project

    You're still creating multiple fuel caches in coastal hamlets, there really isn't any inland hamlets, that have to be monitored and maintained. Wouldn't air drops be better? Freeing up the column to stay inland and away from the coast? As I work through traveling cross country and the...

    The Sherp only has a max speed of 30kph compared to the BvS10 at 60kph. However the Sherp has a range of 4000km vs the BvS10 at 1000km (or 4 fuel caches compared to one, logistics logistics.)

    AOR Replacement & the Joint Support Ship (Merged Threads)

    Oh well, just a question. I just saw the present hull on a LHD type as advantageous to taking it into northern waters. Many more options exist for deploying land forces with a ship than via C130 or C17.

    AOR Replacement & the Joint Support Ship (Merged Threads)

    Just curious, no idea if it's feasible, what if they were to add 60m to the middle/rear of an AOR hull? Ice capable limited sea lift? it is a fairly wide vessel.

    As a side note, this cold be a reason to replace/retain the 105mm light guns?

    I believe those were built by Anything Custom in Winnipeg.

    Same latitudes but Canadian Tundra is like no other terrain. Narrow tracked heavy vehicles will not fair so well. Mineral or petroleum exploration is done with wide tracked vehicles for a reason. Another option is large Terra Tires (balloon).

    So Canada will restrict itself to "light" infantry north of the 59th? Missiles, rockets, and radars are proposed but haven't been trialed yet.

    Domestic and Arctic Mobility Enhancement Project

    The BvS10 is a troop carrier, that's it. At most it has been outfitted with a RWS. It does not tow 155mm artillery, it is not capable of 105mm cannons, it is not even 25mm cannon capable, and adding armor adds weight of course which reduces any portable armament it can carry. On paper it can...

    Canada's tanks

    The US will never allow a full spec M1A3 to be built outside the US. Secret armor and all that, and even if they allow Canada into the project it will take years and years before Canada comes up to the front of the line. Quit mucking about and order some refurbished M1's. As a premium customer...

    Canada's tanks

    Slowly ship all the Leopards to Latvia and then it becomes urgent to replace the tanks at home and since nobody in Europe is in the mood to sell their Leopard IIs right now then it becomes apparent the only quick option is to purchase M1s. Just sayin. (has anyone found a sarcasm smilie yet?)

    Hybrid Electric Vehicles

    Charging systems depend on the battery voltage, the way forward is to increase the operating voltages thus reducing current and charging times. Most are moving to an 800V battery system which halves the charging time/current compared to 400v battery system. Extrapolate that to even higher...

    Canada's tanks

    All of these manufactured issues are immediately solved with the purchase of M1s and Bradleys built by our neighbour, you know, the guys with the biggest arsenal on the planet. Buy used and have them refurbished to get around all those Canadian content issues with new builds. you may be able to...

    Just happened to be on the transcanada at Wabigoon yesterday and met up with 2 wide load low beds heading east each with a LEO as their cargo. No chance for a photo.

    Maritime Coastal Defence Vessels (MCDVs)

    With a focus on the arctic are we not long overdue to obtain some oceanographic and hydrographic survey ships to map the Arctic Ocean? An updated version on the Vard-9-05/ VARD 9 105 The original 2 built for the Royal Navy were also capable of mine hunting / countermeasures.

    C3 Howitzer Replacement

    GDLS LAV6M (based on Saudi export LAV700 ) 120mm turreted mortar. Approx 9200m max range. Although it's about 2000m less than a C1 or C2 105mm and half of the LG1 C3 it would be much more mobile and quicker to move and/or respond. Replacing M777s is a whole other discussion.
