Partnership Set to Yield Biggest Defense Export for Canberra
Australia is set to help Canada build the largest and most advanced over-the-horizon radar system ever constructed, with the partnership potentially yielding Australia’s biggest defense export to date. The collaboration between Canberra and Ottawa draws on decades of Australian expertise in high-frequency radar science and engineering, with BAE Systems Australia playing a central role. Australian defense officials have worked closely with their Canadian counterparts to shape the planning behind the Arctic over-the-horizon radar program, with the goal of creating a radar network that can meet the unique demands of monitoring the Arctic region. This development was first reported by AeroTime.
