At a large shot in the dark, I wonder if Airbus Helicopters H145M could fit the role and perhaps E-7 Wedgetail. Believe NAEWF will be getting some Wedgetail in the future to replace the legacy Sentry...and RCAF does provide some aircrew to them anyhow,.
Any thoughts please?
cheers
Whole thing is a joke, 1.76% from 1.29% by 2030. If they were serious should be 2% in the next budget
300 million for awacs. Only real option would be the turbo prop saab. Cant buy a global eye for that and no chance of an E-7. Maybe they throw 300 million into the nato squadron and buy 1/3 of E-7
