Canada continues to aggressively pursue the rebuilding of her military, in line with her newfound leadership role on the world stage.
Now we learn of the program to build a fleet of unmanned aerial surveillance and attack vehicles, including, hopefully, armed ones which can bomb the enemy.
And this is an accelerated program. It is expected that deliveries would begin by early 2009. And that's just the beginning: A much larger, long-term program is in the works as well.
One interested company is, in fact, an Israeli-Canadian team thing, with Israel providing the vehicles, with example (the "Heron") pictured above, and Canada providing the software-tech stuff. Sounds cool to me!
