The CFB Comox facility will be part of Canada’s $2.49 billion military drone program, featuring fighter-jet-size drones.
The Department of National Defence is moving forward with plans to build a $53-million facility at CFB Comox as part of Canada’s $2.49-billion military drone program.
“Canada must meet the growing demand for domestic assistance while preserving our ability to defend Canada, protect North America, and support our allies,” Blair said in statement in December. Other places that are receiving military drone infrastructure include CFB Greenwood in Nova Scotia and a ground control centre in Ottawa, as well as unspecified forward operating locations that will support missions in Northern Canada.
A liquid-oxygen facility was built last year to support anticipated deployment of the CC-295 Kingfisher aircraft in search-and-rescue operations.
