Australia sells $1.8 billion Arctic missile radar system to Canada

Today, Australia and Canada finalized a record-breaking A$2.5 billion deal for advanced surveillance technology to monitor the Arctic.

The Over-the-Horizon Radar can detect aircraft and long-range missiles thousands of kilometers away by bouncing radio signals off the upper atmosphere. This agreement marks Australia’s largest-ever defense export and the first time its proprietary JORN technology has been sold to a foreign partner. Canada is prioritizing this upgrade to secure its northern borders as melting ice and global rivalries turn the Arctic into a strategic battleground.

BAE Systems will now begin manufacturing the high-tech components to integrate into the North American early warning network.
