Both Admiral McDonald and I play a supporting role to the Royal Canadian Air Force in delivering this capacity to our navy, and it is a major chunk of a warship's capacity. You can't diminish how important it is.
It is the Royal Canadian Air Force, to my mind, that has to answer the generation question. Their challenges are many—delivering the competency of how to maintain the aircraft, how to fly it, and then how to operate all these advanced systems. I trust they'll do a good job, and I'll leave it to them to answer that.
We're seeing the first of the helicopter air detachments, the people and the platform, married to a warship that is out exploring the rough domain of the wintertime North Atlantic, pushing the operating envelope of that aircraft and ship to the maximum to make sure that what we take and what we are able to fly is what we had with the Sea King, which has an amazing capacity to operate in some of the world's roughest waters. It's Canadian sailors and Canadian industry and Canadian aviators that are still our leaders in landing helicopters of this size from warships in such a rough domain, whether it's the north Pacific or the north Atlantic. I trust my Royal Canadian Air Force partners will be delivering the first of these operational capabilities in 2018, because that's the date I'm working toward with my fleet, and I have a lot of integrating elements of fleet programming.
What I am seeing, if I could relate it to the Block III Aurora modernization, is nothing short of staggering. The black-box technology that is in the back of these planes and helicopters has increased the detection and ranges against submarine targets. This is a specialized radar made to generate a wide-area surveillance picture from a helicopter and network it back to the ship. I was just on board a warship. It looks like you're dealing with another warship 200 miles away, but the picture is being generated by a helicopter. The internal-processing capability to see targets where you never could see them before, whether on the surface or underwater, is amazing. I see this because I'm seeing it in the Block III Aurora. The air force is adamant that it is delivering the same or a higher level of capability than we're seeing in the Block III modernization. But I'd have to leave the delivery details to the Royal Canadian Air Force.
Art, as I talked, maybe you thought of some other aspects of the question.
