And we will have more to say on this in the short term,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/outlook\/2021\/12\/06\/canadian-defense-minister-we-will-always-ensure-our-military-is-ready-willing-and-able\/\" target=\"_blank\">Canadian Defence Minister Anita Anand<\/a> said after meeting with U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin at the Pentagon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anand didn\u2019t provide specifics, but the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/search?q=Ottawa+Citizen+reported+that+Canada+plans+to+spend+%241+billion&#038;oq=Ottawa+Citizen+reported+that+Canada+plans+to+spend+%241+billion&#038;aqs=chrome..69i57.325j0j1&#038;sourceid=chrome&#038;ie=UTF-8\" target=\"_blank\">Ottawa Citizen<\/a> reported this week Canada plans to spend CA$1 billion (U.S. 780 million) for a new northward-facing, over-the-horizon radar system in the Arctic, which would provide long-range surveillance to detect threats against U.S. or Canadian cities. The radar would start operation in 2028.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Earlier this week, U.S. Air Force Gen. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/pentagon\/2022\/04\/25\/norad-boss-wants-to-get-creative-on-defeating-cruise-missiles\/\" target=\"_blank\">Glen VanHerck<\/a>, the chief of NORAD, said the binational command faces increasing threats from Russia and China, including hypersonic missiles, whose maneuverability in flight make them difficult to detect and track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s the maneuverability and the challenges they present by coming in at different attack vectors, or different angles, which allows us to not see them, candidly. So what I\u2019m most worried about, in my NORAD hat, is providing threat warning,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">VanHerck wants to use signals intelligence, geospatial intelligence and other data sources to establish a pattern of behavior on the ground that warns of potential threats. That could let commanders respond hours or days before an actual launch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the defense chiefs discussed military aid to Ukraine, Austin lauded Canada\u2019s commitment to provide eight armored vehicles as well as M777 howitzers and associated ammunition. The new move is part of a push to arm Ukraine with heavy weapons as fighting intensifies in the Donbas region. Russia invaded its neighbor Feb. 24.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe will continue to stand with Ukraine. We remain prepared to defend every inch of NATO territory, and we will always do whatever it takes to ensure the security of our North American continent,\u201d Anand said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anand also confirmed that Canadian soldiers are training Ukrainian troops on the howitzers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Against the backdrop of Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine, the Canadian government this month committed to providing CA$8 billion in new defense spending over the next five years. Also that month, Canada announced it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/air\/2022\/03\/28\/canada-picks-the-f-35-in-fighter-replacement-competition\/\" target=\"_blank\">chose Lockheed Martin\u2019s F-35<\/a> in its competition to buy a new fighter jet, an investment of CA$19 billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis is such an important procurement for our continental relationship, for our relationship with NORAD, for our potential NATO contributions as well,\u201d Anand said at a Center for Strategic and International Studies event earlier in the day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Canada\u2019s defense minister says she\u2019s close to offering a \u201crobust\u201d plan to modernize continental defenses under NORAD,
