The electronic warfare environment is the use of the electromagnetic spectrum for one's advantage. What we're trying to do, or what different nations will try to do, is negate the use of the electromagnetic spectrum to other countries so they retain sole use of it. That's the game of electronic warfare.
With our fighters, it's something we need to train for. In layman's terms, when we fly and we look at the radar, the radar is a clean picture, and it's really easy to get the targets we need to see, if there's no electromagnetic jamming. A jamming environment obviously creates a level of complexity for the pilots that they have to work through.
So 414 Squadron helps us, the Royal Canadian Air Force, to train in that environment. They don't do that only for the Royal Canadian Air Force. They support the army and the Royal Canadian Navy as well with their capability to help them train.
I'm happy to say that with our CF-18 and the mid-life upgrade we have, we have a great defensive electronic warfare suite. Our fighter continues to be relevant today on the world scene. But that is a cat-and-mouse game, and we need to stay on top of it. As General Wheeler said, the world is rapidly evolving, and we need to stay ahead.
