Zitat:Daher spilet kanada sicherlich in der Weltpolitik eine Rolle. Auch sind deren Streitkräfte zwar nicht sonderlich riesig ( wozu denn auch???), aber sie sind gut ausgerüstet und waren und sind eben an internationalen Missionen beteiligt.
Von daher sollte man nicht lästern.

Kanda gehört nicht umsonst zur G-8.

Kanada hat einer der moderneren Armeen und hat auch durchaus auf dem Gebiet
der Rüstungsindustrie etwas zu bieten.
So kommen z.B. die von den Marines bekannten Light Armoured Vehicle aus kanadischer Schmiede (auch wenn mittlerweile amerikansich).
Und auch hochklassge Fregatten der Halifaxklasse und zukünftig moderne zestörer werden von kanada hergestellt.

Zitat:Canada May Lease ‘Short’ C-130Js from U.K.
By DAVID PUGLIESE, VICTORIA, British Columbia


Canada is examining a proposal from Britain to lease 10 Royal Air Force Hercules C-130J transport aircraft.

Officials with Defence Minister Bill Graham’s office have been briefed on the proposal, which would see Canada acquiring the “short” versions of the C-130J that the Royal Air Force now operates. The Royal Air Force would continue to operate its stretch versions of the C-130J, which are about 15 feet longer and can carry more material.

Britain would use the money from the Canadian lease to help finance the acquisition of another C-17 transport aircraft, industry sources in Canada and the United Kingdom said.

Zitat:Canada works on hypervelocity anti-armour missile programme

Christopher F Foss

Canada is working on a High-Energy Missile (HEMi) programme to meet the potential future requirements of the Canadian Armed Forces.

The key aim of the programme is to demonstrate the concept of a small hypervelocity missile that would provide the firepower of a 70-ton main battle tank (MBT) in a light combat vehicle.

Project Definition of the HEMi was carried out under Phase 0 between April 2000 and April 2001 at a cost of C$400,000 (US$321,000). Phase 1 started in April 2001 and is due to run through to March 2006. During this phase a number of key objectives are required to be met, including system concept definition, detailed component design, demonstration of components and a military utility study.

One of the key requirements is that the HEMi must be able to penetrate a minimum of 1,000 mm of conventional rolled homogenous armour (RHA), have a maximum length of 1.21 m and have a launch weight of 22.4 kg. The projected low weight will enable more rounds to be carried on the platform.

It also must have a minimum velocity of 2,250 m/s at ranges of between 400 m and 5,000 m. (A typical currently fielded 120 mm armour-piercing fin-stabilised discarding sabot [APFSDS] projectile fired from a tank gun has a muzzle velocity of around 1,600 m/s that decreases with range.)

A number of lethality achievements have already been made covering the key areas of lethality, propulsion, aerodynamics, structure, guidance and control, modelling and simulation, and operational research. These include optimised segmented rod parameters, 12 gun-validation firing tests and the firing of segmented rods against active armour. The first firing of a segmented rod took place in December 2004.

Zitat:Canada Shapes Plan for UAV Buy

By DAVID PUGLIESE, OTTAWA
December 05, 2005


Canada’s Air Force is crafting a multimillion-dollar plan to purchase medium- or high-altitude unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to be fielded by the end of the decade.

Work is under way on the Joint Unmanned Surveillance Target Acquisition System (JUSTAS), which calls for the acquisition of the UAVs by 2010. Funding for that project will be about 500 million Canadian dollars ($420 million), said Canadian Air Force Lt. Col. Gord Smith, the military’s section head for UAV requirements.
