North Warning System
The North Warning System (NWS) is a network of long- and short-range radar stations that spans across Canada’s Arctic and northern regions, designed to monitor and detect potential aerospace threats approaching North American airspace. Operated through a partnership between the Canadian Armed Forces and the United States, the NWS plays a vital role in continental defense under NORAD (North American Aerospace Defense Command). The system includes dozens of unmanned radar sites and regional support facilities across Nunavut, Northwest Territories, Yukon, and Labrador. Operations and maintenance have been supported by contractors such as Nasittuq Corporation, which provides essential services including radar maintenance, logistics, transportation, fuel delivery, and remote monitoring. The North Warning System is a cornerstone of Canada’s Arctic sovereignty and aerospace defense strategy, offering long-term employment and technical roles in some of the most remote and challenging environments in the country.

Nasittuq Corporation
Nasittuq Corporation is a majority Inuit-owned company providing technical site services, facility management, and logistics across Canada's Arctic. Founded in 2000 as a joint venture between the Pan Arctic Inuit Logistics Corporation (PAIL) and ATCO Frontec (part of the ATCO Group), Nasittuq is registered as an Inuit firm in Nunavut, with Inuit shareholders holding majority ownership and an active role in its governance. Its name, an Inuktitut word meaning "looking out from a high place," reflects its central role operating the North Warning System — a 5,000-kilometre chain of 47 remote radar sites stretching across the Canadian Arctic from the Yukon to Labrador that provides aerospace surveillance for Canada and the United States as part of the NORAD agreement. Under a Government of Canada contract awarded in 2022, Nasittuq operates and maintains these remote sites, which include helipads, gravel runways, more than 100 buildings, and hundreds of bulk fuel storage tanks, delivering maintenance, logistics, airlift coordination, environmental systems management, and engineering services. The company also provides site support and management services at Canadian Forces Station Alert on Ellesmere Island, the northernmost permanently inhabited base in Canada.
