In 2024, the federal government conducted counter-drone testing at several major airports around the country, including Ottawa, Montreal-Trudeau, Calgary, Toronto Billy Bishop, Halifax and Moncton, according to a report obtained by the IJF.
The assessments, a collaborative effort between Transport Canada and the RCMP, were designed to assess risks, inform policy and determine “how to procedurally mitigate drone incursions,” including the “tactical operations required to respond to a drone incident,” a 2025 review document says.
I doubt any of our airports will be able to act against a determined enemy.
