"September 2016." Original published on: 2016/09/12; published on: 2016/12/21. Includes bibliographical references. "The report is primarily about the means by which Canada assures it remains ready to defend itself, and North America, against aerospace threats. It is subdivided into four sections, which move from the broad international and threat context, to the details of how Canada defends its aerospace through the mechanism of NORAD, and on to the assets it uses to do so. The first section therefore outlines the international security environment and aerospace threats to Canada and North America. The second looks at how Canada and the U.S. defend North America by working collaboratively through NORAD, and highlights possible areas of improvement that might strengthen that bi-national command as well as the Canada-U.S. defence relationship more generally. The third section focuses on the state of the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) with consideration for ways to enhance its capabilities and contributions to both NORAD and the defence of Canada. The final section provides concluding remarks and recommendations for the Government of Canada"--Introd., p. 4.
