CFSOC stood up
The CF Information Management Group website reports that the Canadian Forces SIGINT Operations Centre (CFSOC) was stood up earlier this year. "In 2006, a revitalization of Signals Intelligence capabilities and a concurrent expansion of Station support responsibilities, prompted authorities to stand-up a separate SIGINT Centre of Excellence, at CFS Leitrim. That Centre of Excellence is the 'CFSOC.'"
The CFSOC has taken over Leitrim's SIGINT missions, currently described as follows:
- To operate and maintain signals intelligence collection and geolocation facilities in support of the national cryptologic programme and military operations;
- To operate and maintain radio frequency direction finding facilities in support of search and rescue and other programs;
- To maintain a capacity for the timely deployment of SIGINT forces and capabilities, in support of CF operational requirements.
Gander and Masset, for their part, are now considered CFSOC Detachments.
