Rationale

Canada's EEZ (5.6M km²) has only 34% persistent sensor coverage. US defence data dependency at 0.71. Only 25% of NATO-eligible spending is domestic. The Aikido AO60DC dual-use platforms solve all three: wind + AI compute + sensors on Canadian-built platforms, 100% NATO-eligible, 100% domestically retained, zero US dependency. Flips capital outflow equation while closing Arctic surveillance gap and reducing Golden Dome dependency.

Details

Epoch: 100

Domain: defence

Fiscal cost estimate (LLM): $3.20B CAD

Structural estimate (RIPPLE): +$303.72B CAD net (v3-bfs-signed depth=2, decay=0.5/hop; diverges)

Top RIPPLE cost paths
  • +$193.05B → consumer_spending (Consumer Spending Growth) via employment_rate
  • +$43.09B → defence_spending (Defence Spending) via arctic_platform_deployment_count
  • +$20.28B → defense_spending (Defence Spending (DND)) via offshore_platform_maintenance_cost
  • +$20.05B → federal_budget_balance (Federal Budget Balance) via offshore_platform_maintenance_cost

Variable changes

  • us_defence_data_dependency: 0.71 → 0.45
  • defence_capital_outflow_foreign: 7.95 → 5.5
  • arctic_platform_deployment_count: 0 → 3
  • sovereign_sensor_network_coverage: 0.28 → 0.62
  • maritime_domain_awareness_coverage: 34 → 72
  • nato_eligible_domestic_spend_ratio: 25 → 45
  • offshore_platform_maintenance_cost: 0 → 0.15
  • offshore_sovereign_compute_capacity: 0 → 36

Chamber amendment (round 1): Mandate 40% of maintenance and construction contracts be awarded to firms headquartered in rural or remote coastal regions.
