It will strengthen NORAD by providing us with a significant increase in the surveillance capacity of our fighter aircraft, as well as a much-improved ability to work with other airplanes, as well as other assets, either on the ground, potentially, or at sea, and to share information and pass it back and forth among different platforms to get a better sense of what's happening overall. It also provides a significant increase in our ability to potentially intercept either an aircraft or a missile coming towards North America and shoot it down.
