Fwd: Fwd: National Defence - Strategic Infrastructure Project

Sharing the below with the Community ... as a way to plant "seeds" for projects.

I realize that this is not specifically Linux-based, but the type of project involved for the second proposal outlined would, nowadays, likely involve

 * Linux as a platform for development, and
 * Linux as a platform for embedded hardware deployment.

While the proposal is my personal creation, I withdraw all claims to the ideas contained therein.

*Anyone* who wants to, and can, make the concept fly, is welcome to it!

Hello,


I wanted to keep you informed regarding an email which I sent to the Government of Canada regarding a proposal which I believe would be both strategic, and beneficial, to the Ukraine and to Canada.

I hope you come to the same conclusion regarding the attached proposal.

The only difference between the below attachment, and the version sent to the Government of Canada, is the qualifier "*Fire Point FP-5*" added to the previous reference on page 3,

   Ukraine's *Flamingo* cruise missile

Thank you for hearing me out.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I beseech you to consider the thoughts, arguments and proposals that are outlined in the 8-page attachment.

It is my sincere belief that they are of utmost importance, at this time, as a means to strengthen Canada's ability to defend itself "at a distance" as well as to offer a new means of "Power Projection", both being of strategic importance.

Thank you for your consideration,
