When the Canadian Surface Combatant team was unveiled in November 2017, Lockheed Martin Canada, a subsidiary of the U.S. defence giant, highlighted that its proposal included the CMS-330. The firm pointed out that the maximum focus was to get Canadian content on the new warships.

But, once Lockheed Martin won the contract, it dumped the CMS 330 and substituted Aegis.

Fuck Lockheed Martin and fuck Trudeau for not IMMEDIATELY jumping down their throats when they subbed the command management system.

If Trump's going to break his freetrade contracts with Canada, we should just go ahead and jailbreak Aegis and eventually replace it with CMS.

So what's the process for revoking access to networked systems on a warship? Like, are there crypto keys to rotate? Is there a "foe" label you assign somehow?

And quickly can you do it? Like right now? Is there an admiral you need to call?

The F-35 deal pretty much has go too, we can't but our frontline equipment from an adversary. The modernization of the Rafale and the Gripen E both say they have an enhanced ability to engage 5th gen jets, both could be a good call for Canada.

Not just the ships. So much stuff comes from the US.

I'm still mad that we didn't just license the perfectly adequate FREMM frigate.
