Thank you, Mr. Chair.
My questions will be for Mr. Nared. I'm going to ask three quick questions and then he can budget his time in answering them.
We just finished a study on the Arctic in this committee. One of the recommendations is that instead of getting submarines, we should be using drones under the ice in our Arctic. We know that adversaries are currently traversing in submarines, and they have the data in real time.
Is there a vulnerability for an underwater ice drone in the Arctic in transmitting the data back to whomever, as opposed to just being there in real time and seeing for yourself? That's one question: threats for underwater ice drones.
Second, how is artificial intelligence impacting the cyber-threat environment?
Third, how can security agencies or national defence distinguish between a series of attacks, or simultaneous attacks, on communications technology or industrial control systems and tell if those are precursors of a kinetic attack?
