What I would say is that UAVs have capacity limitations. In fact, even weaponized UAVs, those that will have dropped ordnance in Afghanistan or in Iraq, are very limited in their capacity of what they would carry. They're not going to provide the flexibility and weapons choices that a manned fighter would.
There are some fundamental things a UAV can do that an aircraft can't. Persistence and endurance is one of those, that ability to have eyes on a target for 24 or 48 hours. They do play an important role in that. As you know, there are limitations in the number of aircraft you have. Also, I think, there's the flexibility. Operating in the Arctic, as we've talked about, is a huge challenge. In terms of the early UAVs that came out, I've flown in the Arctic with jet streams of 200 knots and winds of 200 knots, and most UAVs would be going backward in that wind. They don't have the speed.
When I look at the uniqueness of the Canadian geography and its challenges, I'm very happy to see the progress that UAVs have been making. I'm quite happy about where we're at with our project, because I think technology is improving to the point that we will get the right solution. It will help our other operations, but it will never have the capacity or the full flexibility to replace a manned fighter.
