You're quite right, Radarsat-2 has an excellent ground moving-target indicator, which could be used to track trucks in Iraq or it could be used to help peacekeeping forces. It's an example of a technology that's competitive worldwide. It can make a big difference in the field and for the UN. We're just starting to explore that. I'm a consultant to the United Nations on the use of technology in the field.
Fifteen years ago we briefed the interdepartmental committee on space, before the Canadian Space Agency was created, to ask for it to have a mandate to be able to provide assistance to the United Nations in the reconnaissance field. This would be in addition to the kind of work the CSA is doing with DND, but it would also be a link to increase the capacity of Canada to funnel that kind of information.
We've had problems with MDA, which now has a systems contract at the UN for reconnaissance satellite information, but it hasn't worked out very well. Geographic information systems people in the UN have had complaints, so we want to see that improved.
