  • So i clicked the link inside to see what we want that apparently no one can offer today with an existing platform.

    the military is concerned that the plane, under its current design and configuration, doesn’t have 360-degree radar coverage. There are also concerns about the range and frequency of the radar.

    Saab has proposed modifications, putting additional radar sets in the nose and tail.

    There are also concerns about the number of crew stations and connectivity equipment to plug the plane into the NORAD network, which would limit the GlobalEye’s ability to offer a “control” function during operations that involve a series of military assets.

    The military is also seeking a radar plane that can be refuelled in flight to cover the vast expanses of the Arctic, a feature that is not currently included on the GlobalEye.

    Aside from in flight refueling which could be unique to our location and large air space, its interesting we want stuff no one has, but it all sounds like good things.






  • See, the shit show continues

    Not everyone in CentreBC is happy about Milobar’s agreement with the Conservatives.

    Party president Mike Wignall has just sent out a news release entitled “Milobar flips — Again.”

    Wignall said Milobar didn’t discuss his decision to return to the B.C. Conservatives with the CentreBC executive council.

    “We are disappointed that Peter Milobar and others did not stand by commitments made to this party, its executive council, and its members,” Wignall said in the release.

    He said CentreBC would not “be selling out to divisive politics” and added it would continue to field candidates as a centrist party.

    Milobar left the Conservatives last month to sit as an Independent and planned to create his own party. On Friday, he was announced as the new CentreBC leader. Now, he’s working with the Conservatives.
