Summary:
"The North American Aerospace Defense Command (
NORAD
) has undergone wide-ranging changes since 2006, when it was given a new maritime warning mission and the
NORAD
Agreement was signed in
perpetuity
. Andrea Charron and James Fergusson trace
NORAD
's recent history, marked by innovations in technology and in command and control, but also by unprecedented threats. The shared defence of North America remains an important issue that should extend to other areas, such as the joint defence of the maritime and cyber domains. Fuelled by a deep curiosity about the command and its decisions made in the face of inevitable geopolitical and technological changes, this book uses a functional lens to evaluate
NORAD
's options and the technological and organizational solutions needed to defend North America. The authors investigate the ways in which the
NORAD
command might adapt in the future as it struggles to modernize and keep ahead of new threats. This book comes at a critical time. The rise of new peer competitors requires a fundamental reconsideration of North American defence. As one of very few contemporary analyses of the command and its future,
NORAD
will be a vital tool for scholars and practitioners."--Publisher.
