Goose Air Defense Sector, Military defense installation in Ontario, Canada
The Goose Air Defense Sector was a military facility in Ontario that conducted airspace surveillance operations. It used radar systems to monitor the skies over northeastern Canada and surrounding areas.
The facility was established in 1963 under the Aerospace Defense Command and remained operational for about three years. It played a role in North American air defense during the height of the Cold War.
Military personnel at the Goose Air Defense Sector developed specialized protocols for international cooperation between Canadian and American defense forces.
The location in northern Ontario requires good preparation and warm clothing for visits to this area. The route there passes through remote terrain, so detailed planning before departure is worthwhile.
Two Fighter-Interceptor Squadrons stationed at this sector conducted specialized cold weather operations in extreme northern conditions.
