The Canadian Air Force (RCAF), the air and space force of Canada, plays a crucial role in the nation's defense and security through its space-based capabilities. It acts as the authority for the Department of National Defence / Canadian Armed Forces Joint and Combined Space Program. The RCAF is responsible for delivering space power effects in support of Canadian Armed Forces operations, including space domain awareness, satellite communications, and surveillance from space. The RCAF works closely with partners like the US Department of Defense, the Canadian Space Agency, and allies through initiatives like the Combined Space Operations to enhance space monitoring and defense capabilities.
