I quite liked one of your icebreaker posts I stumbled across the other day. I’ve been thinking about the whole question of Canada’s (currently risible) ability to maintain sovereignty in the Arctic. Icebreakers are years away, nuke subs even further. But would not underwater drones be a very cost effective way of patrolling the submarine sea lanes in the arctic? It’s a notion I have encountered in SciFi, but we also happen to have some submersible drone technology expertise in Canada already (Google the newt suit). Given the way a $1000 drone can take out a $50 million (or whatever they cost) Abrams tank or a $500,000 missile can sink a billion dollar capital ship, I’d think a forward thinking navy would be big on drones. Anyway, I wanted to ask you about your thoughts on anti submarine drones in the arctic.
