North American Aerospace Defense Command
(NORAD) The original Norad complex was built
some 700 feet below the surface at North Bay.
Today it is housed in the new building that you
see here.
Unfortunately cell phones and cameras are not
allowed in the building but the cadets in small
groups had a chance to see and hear about the
radar system that blankets our country. The
cadets toured the main computer room and they
were given briefings from five different
observers who were monitoring and controlling the
different aspects of the radar system.

22 Wing North Bay provides
surveillance, identification, control, and
warning for the aerospace defence of Canada and
North America. This surveillance and
identification of all air traffic approaching
North America (some 200,000 flights per year) is
accomplished using radar information received via
satellite from the North Warning System across
the Canadian Arctic, coastal radars on the east
and west coasts of Canada, and Airborne Warning
and Control System Aircraft.
