Space is an important and growing element of the global security environment, and space-based capabilities are crucial to the day-to-day activities of all Canadians.
The Canadian Armed Forces’ space-related activities are an essential component of the defence of Canada and North America, and provide support to operations worldwide. The CAF employs space-based capabilities for a range of activities including all-domain awareness, weather information, surveillance, intelligence gathering and reconnaissance, search and rescue, navigation, and global communications.

L’espace est un élément important de la sécurité mondiale qui prend une ampleur croissante. De plus, les capacités spatiales sont essentielles aux activités quotidiennes de tous les Canadiens.
Les activités spatiales des Forces armées canadiennes (FAC) jouent un rôle fondamental dans la défense du Canada et de l’Amérique du Nord. Elles permettent de soutenir les opérations dans le monde entier. Les FAC utilisent des capacités spatiales dans bon nombre d’activités, notamment la connaissance de tous les domaines, les renseignements sur la météo, la surveillance, la collecte de renseignement et la reconnaissance, la recherche et le sauvetage, la navigation et les communications mondiales.

The F-35 can see trouble coming — ahead, behind, or below the aircraft — far enough in advance to avoid a threat or kill it. Faced with multiple threats, the sensor suite recommends the order in which they should be dispatched.

Last week’s federal budget offered relatively modest spending with targeted funding after years of spending from a government that seemed to believe the deficit will solve itself. Unfortunately, the Canadian Armed Forces again escaped the finance minister’s gaze and for the second consecutive year, national defence is conspicuous by its absence from the budget.
