Canada urged to build a military space strategy for the Arctic
Original: Defending the high ground - Why Canada urgently needs a military space strategy to protect the Arctic: Joe Varner for Inside Policy
Joe Varner, writing for the Macdonald-Laurier Institute's Inside Policy, argues that Canada urgently needs a military space strategy to defend its Arctic. He contends that satellites for surveillance, communication and missile warning are increasingly vital to securing Canada's northern sovereignty, and that Ottawa currently lacks a coherent approach to protecting its interests in space over the region.
Why now: Rising strategic and military attention to the Arctic has put a spotlight on Canada's gap in space-based defence planning.
