UAVs will play an important role moving forward. In that whole technology piece I was talking about and the requirement for increased amounts of surveillance and reconnaissance, UAVs will have a very important role to play.
Certainly, in my assessment and the assessment of the air force—and I think General Vance would have said the same thing—we don't see drones replacing fighter aircraft, for example, certainly not at this juncture, not with the technology that's available.
We've had a project, JUSTAS, that hopefully will be delivering a solution to us in the next three to four years. That will be an important part of Canadian Armed Forces capability moving forward, both at home in a surveillance role and also when deployed. I see that as independent of any decision on replacing the CF-18.
