Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is in Iqaluit, Nunavut on Tuesday where he will make an announcement that Canada is joining Australia in a partnership on an over-the-horizon radar system.

Australia has the most-advanced over the horizon radar system, according to senior government officials.

The radar system is part of an already announced $6 billion pledge by the federal government to modernize NATO. It will include $420 million to the Department of National Defence (DND) for increased operations in a year-round presence.

Carney will be joined by Defence Minister Bill Blair and Chief of Defence Staff Gen. Jennie Carignan.

He is also set to meet with Nunavut Premier P.J. Akeeagok and members of the Canadian Rangers who patrol the Arctic.
