I would generally agree with my colleague. The extent to which surveillance could be enhanced through lower-cost systems would certainly be something for us to consider at this point in time. The added advantage of UAV systems is that they tend to be more quickly replaceable and therefore they can keep pace with technological developments as they go forward.
Similarly, were we to try to work with the United States in a more coordinated fashion when it came to the Arctic, they would be able to invest more with us in developing additional space-based and radar capabilities to enhance that. One might even argue that were we to take a binational approach to the Arctic, we would arguably have a better understanding of where submarines are using their assets, even if they do not divulge to us precisely where their submarines are. It would to some degree give us a better understanding of the threats and the nature of those ships that are approaching us.
