aeronaut a m ion publication headed dlspela cost myth is of local interest dealing as it does with the arrow and bomarc controversy and ii reprinted for the information ot readers there was speculation in brit ish newspapers last month that the canadian cf105 arrow might he bought for the royal air force this was flattering and encour aging to arrow supporters for it served as an endorsement of the airplane s suitability for a modern defense system but no one connected with av iation in canada or in britain took the rumour seriously they realise that to any mature and seasoned government matters of defense and economics are inseparable much as the british government might be impressed with the ar row they are also conscious of the necessity for a healthy defense in dustry within the ujc and the british aviation industry is hungry tor military aircraft orders mr diefenbaker would do well to study the attitude of the british government in this respect and to think again on the arrow and bo marc he should look particular ly at the cost of the two systems for if he has been advised that the bomarc will be cheaper he has been grossly misinformed and as a result the public has been grievously misled the figures below show our esl mated costs for the different sysi terns to give comparable defense coverage that is for substantial equipment of rcaf squadrons with the cf 100 or alternatively for construction and equipment of ten bomarc sites k will be seen that the bomarc ts the more costly proposition as must be obvious to anyone with a knowledge of aviation

statement on chan ges in the canadian air de- in recent weeks the government has rull reviewed the canadian ur defense program in the light of the rapid development that has taken place during the last year in missiles for both defense and attack in doing so it has had de tailed advice from its military ex perts on the nature of attacks on north america that might be ex pected should a major war take place a number of change the air defence program now have been decided upon the govern ment has concluded that imsm o hould be introduced into the ca the government believes how ever that to discontinue abruptly the development of this aircraft and its engine with its consequent effects upon the industry would not be prudent with the interna tional outlook as uncertain and tense as it is as a measure of insurance with present tensions as they arc therefore the government has de cided that the development pro gram for the arrow aircraft and the iroquois engine should be con tinued until next march when the situation will be reviewed ag ain in the light of all the existing circumstances at that time although both the arrow air craft anti the iroquois engine ap be likclv t ik bet of the role of the defense forces the government regrets the dif acuities incident to such changes bt finds them inescapable if re gard is to be had to the changing needs which result from the rapid evolution in weapons it now seems evident that in the larger weapon systems now required for air forces canadian work in the design development and production of defense equip ment will have to be closely inte grated with the major programs of the united states the v government recognizes this and they are now prepared to work out profit sharing arrangements with us to accomplish effective

as the age of mis sties appears certain to lead to a major reduction in the need for fighter aircaft canada cannot ex pect to support a large industry de veloping and producing aircraft sol ely for diminishing canadian del ense requirements the government deeply regrets the unemployment that will be in voued in the termination of the astra and sparrow projects and in the avro plant at malton it

fact such aircraft will i be required at all in the 1960 1 in view of the rapid strides being made in missiles by both the ln 1 ted states and the lssr the development of the canad tan supersonic interceptor air craft the cf105 or the arrow was commenced in 1953 and ev en under the best of circumstan ccs it will not be available for effective use in squadrons until late in 1961 since the project began revolutionary changes have taken place which have made necessary a review of the pro gram in the light of anticipated onditions when the aircraft comes into use the preponder- ence of expert opinion is that by the 1960s manned aircraft how ever outstanding will be less cf i fective in meeting the threat than previously expected ft has therefore been decided to introduce the bomarc guided mssile into the canadian air defense system to be used in defense against hostile bombers this is a long range anti aircraft missile guided from the ground with the aid of the same radar system as that used in guiding interceptor aircraft it can be used with either a conventional high explosive warhead or a nu clear warhead two canadian bases for firing such missiles will be established the general northern ontano and quebec areas the use of this missile wih be in accord with the approved policy of nor ad for the air defense of the north american continent other bomarc bases may be

important saving ahievtd b cancelling the astra and spai row programs and substituting these alternatives now in produc i tion would amount to roughly 330 000 000 for a completed pro gram of 100 aircraft the total cost to the canadian government of developing the ar row at rcratt and its associated elements up to the beginning or september has been 303 000 000 to finish this development of the cf105 and its components in eluding astra and sparrow and to produce enough to have about 10q aircraft for squadron use would cost another 1250 000 000 approximately 12500 000 per usable aircraft
